During my participation in the UX Tree mentorship program, I collaborated closely with a seasoned UX professional to tackle user issues within the Hudl app, refining my UX research methods and gaining proficiency in tools like Figma. This intensive program not only deepened my understanding of user-centered design but also instilled in me a self-motivated workflow and effective communication skills through weekly critiques and presentations.As the founder of Friction Media, a venture I initiated during my final year of college, I've successfully provided a range of services including website design, graphic design, social media management, and marketing. Transitioning from my previous employment, I've dedicated myself entirely to nurturing Friction Media, engaging in customer outreach, conducting sales meetings, and delivering high-quality design solutions tailored to diverse client needs.
