Hello World!

How would you describe your design aesthetic?

I think it would be described as bold, vintage, or urban, but I also would say I always try to experiment with more design aesthetics rather than sticking to what I’m good at. I think I put a lot of my own personality into my aesthetic.

What objects inspire your aesthetic?

I’m inspired by lots of streetwear. I usually really like the use of colors and fonts and I find a personal connection to it.

What are the differences between designing for say, a print product, and a digital product?

Having to size the text based on a screen rather than physically printed. Unlike with physical print, with digital, you don’t have to worry about any printing errors that are out of your control.

How Do You Define "Interaction Design"?

Anything that a user can engage with and affect, on a given product or object.

What was your earliest design memory?

Doing art projects in elementary school. Even though we weren't doing digital art, the classes taught me the basics on things like color and positioning.

What does “UX and UI” mean to you (if anything)?

It’s the experience a user will have when using a product. From the start-up to leaving the site, it's whatever the user engages with.

When was the last time you saw digital design in the world that surprised you?

Going through the are.na websites, there were lots of websites that suprised me. I had never seen that amount of creativity just for a website before. The average website just does the minimum for the viewer and that's all I had been exposed to.

What are you most interested in learning in this class?

Effectively laying out a website through the design and technical perspective. That will be a new skill learned.
