.about alaysia
ux and visual designer

.my story

my name is alaysia---pronounced uh-lay-zhuh or ə/leɪ/ʒə for the IPA-ers. I am a self-taught designer with several years of visual design experience, with a background in project management, event, and film production. My expertise includes solving problems, asking tough questions, and creating visual experiences, innovating, 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 and navigating publishing for 10+ years.
