Hello, I'm Jade
Graphic Designer turned Software Engineer, I enjoy immersing in a creatively charged atmosphere, am passionate about design, and learning new technologies. Creating a thoughtful and engaging user experience that focuses on responsive design and accessibility is what drives me. As a creative problem solver with high attention to detail, I thrive on collaboration and seek opportunities to grow as a designer, engineer, and individual.
Outside of Software Engineering, I love to do anything that engages my creativity. These include singing/playing/listening to music of all genres, dancing, cooking, and drawing. Furthermore, I am obsessed with Assassin's Creed and love everything Star Trek .
