My Name is Alyssa. 

I'm a user experience designer passionate about people and art. 

About Me.
I grew up in Hawaii and currently attend school at University of California, San Diego where I study Cognitive Science specializing in Human Computer Interaction. I strive to be an imaginative and analy-
tical problem solver. I am motivated by design prin-
ciples , technology advances, and how people think,
act, and learn.

When I'm not playing around with creative suite or
paints you can usually find me in a coffee shop or adventuring outdoors. Below are some examples
of my UX design work.
