Hi there! My name is Lance Garcia and I’m a UX designer & researcher living in Seattle, Washington. I’m currently studying Human Centered Design and Engineering. I believe that UX Design is about bridging the divide between users and technology to guarantee that it's not only efficient but also safe and culturally sensitive. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it's crucial to confront the potential conflicts and infringements on diverse cultures and values. What excites me most about UX Design is not merely enhancing user experiences or maximizing engagement; it's about safeguarding the well-being of people who use the products that I create.
Designed an online catalog for sustainable local businesses to enhance user engagement and promote environmentally conscious choices. Conducted interviews and developed surveys to gain valuable insights into user preferences and needs.
