Hi I'm Luna, a UX/UI designer 🎨 based in Vancouver. I’ve been designing user experiences, user interfaces, visual and graphic assets for five years, with a focus on creating accessible designs that prioritize user behavior.
I have led user research initiatives and created user flows, flow diagrams, wireframes, mockups and prototypes. Through these I gained experience as a design lead using an agile management approach and enjoyed collaborating with fellow designers while successfully navigating cross-functional teams.
Building on my design background, I completed a Post-Graduate Degree 🎓 in Web and Mobile App Design at Langara College to sharpen my abilities.
Most recently, I wrapped up a search-heavy interface database project called Parallel Play, where I’m currently making adjustments based on stakeholder and user interviews. Additionally, I’ve optimized the user experience for the Langara Faculty Association corporate website, and I’m actively working with clients on UI design and art for a range of gaming projects.
In my free time, I enjoy playing games 🎮, ice skating ⛸️, and trying to learn how to make the best espresso ☕.
