ABOUT
Hello there! My name is Margot, and I am an entry-level UX Designer with a unique background in the service industry. Having worked in customer-facing roles for several years, I have developed a deep understanding of the importance of creating exceptional experiences for users. I have honed my interpersonal skills, empathy, and problem-solving abilities, which I believe are valuable assets in the field of UX design. Transitioning into the world of user experience, I have acquired a solid foundation in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing through relevant coursework and personal projects. I am passionate about designing products that not only meet user needs but also exceed their expectations. My experience in the service industry has taught me the art of anticipating user desires and finding innovative solutions to meet them. I am excited to combine my customer-centric mindset with my UX design skills to create meaningful and user-centric experiences. I am eager to contribute my fresh perspective, adaptability, and enthusiasm to collaborative design teams. Let's create engaging and intuitive designs that leave a lasting impact on users!
