My name is Ariane West and I am a UX designer with an undeniable passion for creating user-focused experiences that are both comfortable and enjoyable. Starting in high school, I had the opportunity to lead a team of seven in designing and publishing our yearbook. This was the beginning of my journey in design, as it gave me the unique opportunity to combine my love for creativity with project management and problem solving. Since then, I have worked in customer service roles in retail, hospitality, and coffee shops, sharpening my communication, detail-oriented and empathetic skills. After attending my UX bootcamp, I am eager to put my newly acquired skills into practice in a professional environment. With a diverse set of experiences ranging from product design to customer relations, I am confident that I can create meaningful impact in any workplace.
