I'm Nana Yaa Ansah

(pronounced Nun-eye-yuh Awn-suh)


I'm a Communications Graduate with a Psychology minor and 3+ years of experience as a Web Designer & Content Creator.

I'm an innate problem solver passionate about designing solutions to improve the quality of life for marginalized communities.


How did I get into UX?

Whilst I was researching a solution to improve my experiences with a mobile app, I noticed several of my friends were having similar issues so I sought out to solve this problem. I eventually discovered the UX Design field and immersed myself into it.

I dove into articles, watched YouTube videos from UX Designers (dare I say Influencers?) and enrolled in courses with Interaction Design Foundation and Georgia Tech EdX, to better understand the UX process and what a UX Designer role entails.

I also joined slack communities and began volunteering as a UX Designer with Hack for LA.
