I switched my career as a UX/UI designer in Canada to focus on the design process.

My background is in Web design for +3 years, but my biggest goal now is to work in a UX or UI design position to gain experience and learn from more experienced professionals than me.

During my career in Japan, I was interested in thinking about more design processes and the user perspective. That is why I started a new career in Canada to focus on more UX side and improve my skills.

As a web designer, I was working with elements of this such as Website navigation architectures, visual guidelines as part of design systems, user testing, competitor Analysis, and other methods. My interest in studying deeper about the design process came from those 3+ years as a Web designer.

I also work as a freelancer in Japan and Canada, I have experience in product development for multinational clients including localization of Japanese ↔︎ English.

I am a student at Tamwood Careers College learning about UI/UX design and I will get a diploma in May 2023.
