Hi, I'm Salina

I'm a UX/UI designer, web designer, and hobbyist illustrator based in Columbus, OH with a passion for building thoughtful, user-focused experiences.

Whether I’m refining an existing brand or starting from scratch, I aim to create digital experiences that feel intuitive and engaging.

Hybrid Web Design & Development

Ambiguous Direction or Processes

I have experience working without a project manager and no set design process. I know what onboarding clients looks like & the questions I need to ask to get a project started.

I have worked with many different clients; some have solid branding, and some don't. I have worked on many style guides for client websites including logos, color palettes, and typography.

User Research

While I have conducted some user research while completing the Google UX Design certificate as well as in university, I have no on-the-job experience. I hope put my knowledge into practice in a future role and to continue learning.

Accessibility

In my completion of the Google UX Design certificate, I realize there is much I still need to learn about web accessibility. I know some of the basics for WCAG compliance, and I would like to continue learning to be 100% compliant.
