I'm Jade, a UX designer who started off as a Software Engineer. When I discovered UX design, I was ecstatic to find a way to combine my passion for technology and my long love of art/design. I grew interested in creating designs that prioritize accessibility and provide a positive user experience. For me, good design isn't just about aesthetics, it's about making sure that everyone can use the product, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.
