Want to cut right to the chase? Check out my resume below.

My name is Symone and I'm a former fashion design student turned Product Designer. 

I have always been passionate and had a curiosity for technology as well as helping people, so when I learned about user experience design I became completely enamored with it.

My educational background is in fashion design, where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in 2018 from Virginia Commonwealth University. During my time at the university, I was able to utilize skills such as design thinking, problem-solving, empathy, and adaptability. As a student, I was consistently pushed to rapidly sketch ideas, assemble prototypes, and be able to consistently communicate my design decisions  to my peers, clients, and mentors. 

I have over 5 years of experience conducting qualitative user research (through surveys, secondary research observations, and interviews), stakeholder management, as well as leadership experience within a fast paced environment. I am also currently pursuing my Master's degree for User Experience at Kent State University.

When I’m not brainstorming solutions and generating action plans at work, I enjoy catching up on the latest Marvel, DC, and Disney content, catching up on new and interesting shows that are streaming, and drawing or painting.

If you would like to work together, contact me.
