Belmont Pharmacy
As part of my UX Design course, I worked with a local pharmacy to design an eCommerce website with multiple categories and checkout flow.
Product Design
Before I was a trained UX designer, I often created passion projects and designed UI wireframes for a few product concepts. These are my humble beginnings.
Why UX?
Before I knew what UX was, I was attempting the practice as an inspiring entrepreneur. Piece by piece, I learned about wireframes, storyboards, the importance of user feedback, and testing-iteration-testing. I love product design, and UX is where the product cycle starts. Since immersing myself in UX Design, I have never been happier with my work life.
