ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Zoe! With a background spanning four countries, including my current residence in Canada, I've nurtured a deep love for nature and animals. This passion led me to pursue extensive studies in psychology and behavior, which eventually evolved into a successful business venture. Along the way, my focus shifted to understanding disabilities and exploring how accessibility and accommodations can benefit everyone.
Discovering UX Design felt like the perfect intersection of my past and present passions. It allows me to apply my expertise in psychology and behavior while challenging me to think creatively and problem-solve. I thrive on using these skills to accommodate diverse individuals with varying abilities.
As you explore my portfolio, which showcases my projects from my certification program, you'll gain insight into what I've accomplished in just a few months of intensive study. I'm eager to continue growing and contribute as a talented member of your team.
