Hello, Mary!

Meet Mary! She’s an “Aspiring UX/UI designer looking to make users lives better through human centered research and design.

She also loves Figma, cats and long walks at the beach.

She followed a popular online bootcamp, created a portfolio with a dog-walking app and decided that it is time! Time for what, you ask?

Why of course it’s time to finally show everyone what she’s made of. It’s time to become a UX designer and make users live better through human centered … ok I think you get it.

She made a nice resume in Figma (with cool gradients!) and exported it into a PDF.

It’s showtime!

Aspiring UX/UI designer looking to make users lives better through human centered research and design. Sounds good?
