About Simoune Lucas

I am a UX Designer passionate about smart, empathetic, and beautiful design. My background includes a biology degree, a graduate certificate in software engineering, and my true passion — product design. A scientist, with a natural inclination for design, I found a love for UX.Equipped with perseverance and an ability to learn quickly, I thrive in the midst of discomfort. I am empathetic, determined, and humble. My genuine empathy creates a passion to solve each design problem to the best of my ability. I am determined to find the best solution in a given amount of time, understanding that speed and iteration are paramount in order to learn and innovate. And as a result of being raised by two, strong immigrant parents, I am a humble person who is easy to work with and remains curious, open-minded, and always looking for opportunities to learn.When I\'m not designing, you can find me eating, photographing world landmarks, or playing outside with my nieces, nephews, and dog.
