About Me
Hey there, I'm Sophia, a passionate UI/UX Designer and Researcher with a knack for creating intuitive and visually appealing interfaces.
I graduated from the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2022, where I discovered my passion for user-centered design and research. Currently, I am working as a UI Designer at London Computer Systems.
When I'm not busy designing, you can find me scaring myself with a horror movie or rifling through racks at the thrift store. I also love to cook and spend quality time with my cat, Casper.
