Hello, I’m Sofya!
I live in Swampscott - small beautiful seaside town northeast of Boston along the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. I came to the United States 22 years ago with my family, worked in many diverse fields and recently completed seven courses and earned Google UX Design Professional Certificate. I hope that this Professional Certificate is just a beginning and working as User Experience Designer will expand my horizons and let my professional knowledge grow. I believe that my broad working experience can bring a new perspective in creating UX designs.
