Hello! I’m Tiffany
Let me tell you about my design journey
I’ve always had a passion for art and design and I've been working in the fashion industry for 19 years. While working in the fashion industry I held positions as a Senior Designer, CAD artist and Technical Designer. The skills I’ve gained over the years by working in the fashion industry such as creating designs in Illustrator, Photoshop, creating trend/mood boards, tech packs, following license guidelines from their style/branding guide, creating full repeat prints and graphics. With my knowledge in design it was easy to transition into creating high fidelity UI designs.
What I find appealing about UX design?
The tech aspect of course! Being able to design in an industry that deals with tech and still be creative is a plus, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to study UX design. Even though I'm familiar with visual design based on my creative background, I wanted to learn UX and be more familiar with the analytical side. While attending Design Lab it was interesting to learn about task/user flows, empathy, persona’s and testing as well as the visual side.
What I find appealing about fashion design?
There is inspiration all around and your mind never stops creating. It’s fun to create new trends and play around with graphics, prints and fabrics. I love to go through the journey of creating a product from start to finish and being able to walk through a store and see a design I’ve created. It’s a very rewarding feeling.
