Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/tjnguyen

With a degree in Cognitive Science and a focus on Design and Interaction from UC San Diego, I am passionate about creating intuitive and user-centric designs that seamlessly integrate form and function. 

I have developed multiple digital products, including web and mobile applications, as a product/web designer, using Figma and Webflow as my main tools. 

One of my recent projects was a user-friendly CPR training platform that I designed and developed from scratch, encompassing UI/UX design, responsive front-end, and back-end integration. I solely managed all aspects of the project, including design, development, and timely client delivery, and facilitated seamless client collaboration, transforming their vision and requirements into a successful website. 

I possess strong collaboration skills, and I am comfortable working with cross-functional teams to create digital products that exceed client expectations and enhance user experience. I also stay current with emerging design trends and technologies, and I am committed to delivering results that delight clients and users alike. 

My goal is to leverage my design and development skills to solve real-world problems with accessible and sustainable designs, and to contribute to the advancement of the field of cognitive science and human-computer interaction.
