Hi, I'm Cassia
I'm a detail-oriented problem solver who takes delight in comprehensive and natural experiences. Above all, I am a people's person, understanding people's needs and using my creative abilities to meet them is my forte. Products haven't always been inclusive of people of all backgrounds and abilities, and I hope to bridge my ethnic studies education with my design practice to create products that work for all people.
I am currently acquiring a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communication with a concentration in UX/UI Design as well as a minor in Ethnic Studies from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

A Bit More About Me
Usually, I enjoy my time laughing with family, sunset surfing at Cayucos Beach, going to local band shows, cooking for friends, and curling up with a good book. That is of course when I am not spending my time scrutinizing color palettes, using command Z, and psychoanalysing users.
