Hi, I'm Sierra.
I am a UX / UI and Graphic designer. I have a background in fine arts, and have always been drawn to the creative process. I enjoy exploring how design can make a positive impact on society.
I am excited to continue working in the creative field and apply my skills and knowledge to real-world projects. With experience in both digital and print design, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of how design can effectively communicate a message.
Beyond my design skills, I am committed to using my work to promote sustainability and equity. I believe that as a designer I have a unique responsibility to consider the environmental and societal impact of my work.
​
In my free time, I enjoy checking out art museums and exhibitions, as well as creating my own artwork, both physical and digital. I find that my love for art and design helps me stay inspired and creative in my work as a UX designer.
