Hello, I’m Guy. I’m a graphic designer who is looking to transition into user experience design. I have spent the past two years freelancing as a designer. I was a regular fixture at a small design/web development studio where I was primarily working on website design. It was during my time there that I became fascinated with user experience design and I have always applied UX principles to my own design work. I am looking for an opportunity to gain experience as a user experience designer to take my a career in a new and exciting direction.
