Hi, I’m Auggie, a UX designer with a strong background in illustration. I love to convey and communicate visually, using a pictorial approach, typography, color, and layout to captivate my target audience. My focus is always on implementing user-centered design solutions.
With over five years of experience working as a UX designer in an online media agency, I’ve collaborated closely with design teams and coordinated with various other departments. In addition, I work solo as a freelance web designer, managing everything from initial client meetings and understanding their challenges to delivering effective design solutions. My goal is to create visually appealing and functional designs that meet the needs of my clients and their users.
