I am a senior Wellesley College student majoring in Media Arts and Sciences. I fell in love with UX design when I took my first Computer Science course where I learned to create visual designs and a web page for our research findings.
I am a first generation Latin American student. I came to the US from Honduras in 2017 and ever since I have worked into improving my skills and continue learning. I never knew what I wanted to study until 2019. I started as an International Relations and Political Science major, even though the gap between that and computer science and arts is wide, I am now grateful of my past experiences because the knowledge I acquired in my humanities courses will help me better understand my community’s needs and what are the best changes I should implement in my designs to make them more useful and usable so that users can have the most enjoyable experience.
