Hey there! 👋 I’m ChÃns, your friendly neighborhood UI/UX designer with a passion for creating intuitive and delightful digital experiences. Here’s a little peek into my world:
Since childhood, I’ve been in love with the world of design. It all began with those rebellious doodles in my grade school notebooks—my secret rebellion against algebra and geography. But then something shifted. Those squiggles turned into fashion sketches, and suddenly, I was designing outfits I’d never actually buy. (Nike ID was my partner in crime during those high school boredom spells.)
When college decision time arrived, I knew—I just knew—I’d study design. But well-meaning family members whispered safer options: Med school? Law school? Both lucrative paths, right? So, with visions of globe-trotting as a traveling nurse, I packed my bags and headed upstate to Binghamton for a nursing degree. The grades were great, but the passion? Missing.
Fast-forward a few years. I dabbled in a few cybersecurity and software development courses. But then, out of nowhere, I stumbled upon UI/UX Design. It was a match made in wireframe heaven.
A few more fun facts about moi:
1. Design Ninja by Day, YouTube Binge-Watcher by Night
By day, I wield my trusty Figma sword, slicing through wireframes and battling usability dragons. But come sunset, you’ll find me wrapped in a blanket burrito, binge-watching various design / music production tutorials on YouTube. 💻
2. The Foodie Nomad
On weekends, you won’t find me hiking mountains or lounging on beaches. Nope! I’m out there, navigating the concrete jungle in search of hidden food gems. From hole-in-the-wall ramen joints to food trucks with attitude, I’ve got my apple map (and my appetite) ready. 🥘
3. UI/UX Detective
Ever seen a button and thought, “Hmm, that’s a suspicious shade of green”? That’s me—unmasking usability mysteries, one pixel at a time. 🔍
4. Spice Level: Dragon Breath
Mild? Medium? Nah. I go for the “set-your-mouth-on-fire” level. If snot isn’t coming out of my nose, it’s not spicy enough. 🔥
5. “Ctrl + Z” Champion
My superpower? Undoing life’s mistakes with a swift “Ctrl + Z.” Accidentally deleted a frame? No worries—I’ve got your back. ↩️
6. Fly since birth
Since birth, my mother has adorned me in a kaleidoscope of styles. Now, as an adult, I walk through life with the confidence of a supermodel at Paris Fashion Week. 🪽
7. UI/UX Philosophy: “Make It Delightful or Bust”
If an interface doesn’t make you grin like a kid in a candy store, I haven’t done my job. 😉
8. にほんごをべんきょうしています
Japanese has become my delightful side hobby. Over the past year, I’ve immersed myself in online tutoring sessions and the occasional friendly chat on social media to unravel the mysteries of this beautiful language. 🇯🇵
9. Let’s Chat!
Enough about me—let’s talk about you! Grab a virtual coffee (or tea, if you’re feeling rebellious) and let’s create delightful experiences together. ✨
