Experience Designer (UX)

• Jan 2022 - Jan 2023

My work at Microverse comprises a mix of service and visual design, where I both participate in the design of the backend experience, and how this manifests visually on the Student web platform.As the first UX designer at Microverse, I have also been laying the ground work for design rituals and processes, as well as building the first design system for internal use.----We believe the place where you're born shouldn't determine your opportunities in life.Microverse is an online school for remote software developers that doesn't charge students anything until they get hired. Students learn remotely and collaboratively with peers around the world, receive support from mentors and a team of professional coaches, and don't pay anything until they land life-changing jobs in software development. Thousands of people from more than 100 countries apply to join Microverse every month, and hundreds of employed alumni from Colombia to Nigeria are making 2-10x their previous salary working for companies like Microsoft, VMWare, Huawei, and Globant.We're on a mission to train and connect 1 million people with remote jobs by 2030.
