About Chiara (Chi) BoisAubin

UX/UI Designer at Freelance

Hey, hey!

My name is Chiara (chee-r-ah), but I also go by Chi (chee).

I have been designing, researching, planning, and developing for users for over 8 years, and I enjoy working to make tech sync with people's lives.

I admire human behavior when it comes to their interaction with technology. Learning from people's experiences and designing solutions drives me to create intuitive, authentic, and creative user experiences, and to find ways to make technology inclusive and accessible by thinking through the design process.

I am a UX/Product Designer and researcher. I do have a background in Front End Development (mainly for websites and iOS) and Digital Design. I mainly focus on human-centered design, accessibility/inclusivity, and mobile design and web design.

I want to help people get into UX/UI by passing down my knowledge and experience.

What I assist with are the following: Design strategy for existing projects Provide detailed feedback on case studies Help people start or adjust their portfolios to be clear and help make them connect to your personality Prepare for your job search as best as possible Practice interviews and presentations

I hope we can work together soon!
