About Dawn Samuelson
My journey to User Experience Design is deeply rooted in creative exploration and a passion for the human experience. As a fine artist, I connected with others through my unique perspective. As a teacher, I mentored creativity, encouraging both youths and adults to find and express their personal voices. As a lifelong learner myself, I wanted to widen my scope. Yearning to reach and positively impact an even broader audience, I found my way to user experience (UX) design. As a UX designer, the \"human\" in human-centered design provides a wider platform to positively touch the lives of those who use the products I help create. I approach each project with curiosity and empathy for the end user, optimizing each experience to meet their needs.
