Hi! I’m Shadae, a User Experience designer, born and raised here in LA. I’m a Japanese-Mexican first-generation American, which has granted me a unique perspective and appreciation for our diverse city of Los Angeles. My family is comprised of creatives who imparted their love of culture, art, crafting, design, and food to me.
My goal is to introduce ways to empathize with community members in order to influence projects by keeping humans at the forefront. I received my B.S. degree in Business Marketing from CSUN, and am currently studying IxD at Santa Monica College, where we utilize empathy, design thinking, and user-centered design to develop engaging experiences for humans.
In my free time, I’m probably binge-watching HGTV or a true crime documentary.
