> Senior Software Engineer + Graphic Designer | SurveyMonkey

Location: Newberg, Oregon, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/meryl

I like to call myself a "Devsigner" - a developer and a designer. I want to use my background in Graphic Design to enhance my skills as a Software Engineer. 

I want to bridge the gap between Designers and Developers to create innovative products and design engaging user experiences. I am endlessly curious about the usability and accessibility of a product and its interaction with the User. What are the current challenges for the User and how can I solve these with better technologies? Using my knowledge as a designer with my skills as a developer, I want to solve complex problems and build these tools to be efficiently beautiful.
