.about alaysia
the ux/ui designer

.my story

my name is alaysia--pronounced uh-lay-zhuh or ə/leɪ/ʒə for the IPA-ers. I'm a fantasy writer, and a graphic and web designer that has transitioned into User Experience Design. I have 7+ years of creating websites for small businesses to NYTimes best selling authors.

I enjoy solving problems, brainstorming, asking tough questions, creating visual experiences, and advocating for diversity and accessibility.

I've always been a curious and inquisitive person when it comes to creativity and my background has proven that. I've studied vocal performance for 14+ years, worked as a film production freelancer for 8+ years, have been writing for 10+ years, and designing for 7+ years.
