Sak pase?

N'ap boule! I’m Arianna, a Haitian-American product designer with a B.S in Psychology and a B.S in Information Technology From Florida State University.

With my knowledge of both tech and human behavior, my work blends human-centered thinking with technological understanding. Balancing logic with empathy, I’m passionate about crafting useful, accessible digital experiences to make the most intuitive web and mobile experiences for any user.

A multidisciplinary creative, my background in freelance illustration since childhood brings a strong visual sensibility to my UX design work. I merge (and frequently talk about) the worlds of psychology, technology, and art as much as possible.
