About me
Hello! I'm Noah, my pronouns are he/him/his, and from the moment I could hold a crayon, I've had an intense passion for design in all its forms. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, I specialize in crafting unique and engaging experiences that foster connections among various different people.
​
I am a recent graduate from the University of California, San Diego with a BS in Cognitive Science and a specialization in Design and Interaction. During my time there, I immersed myself in the principles of User-Centered Design, applying them to diverse projects spanning various domains. My skill set encompasses conducting user research through methods such as interviews, surveys, and online research, as well as both quantitative and qualitative data analysis. I thrive on iterative design processes, and I'm adept at conducting usability and A/B testing. Additionally, I've gained extensive hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and NumPy/Pandas.
I also recently completed a two-year internship at Champions Round, a fantasy sports startup, where I served as a UX Design and Marketing intern. My responsibilities included designing asset organizational systems, researching potential Esports ventures, and contributing significantly to digital marketing campaigns across various social media platforms.
My design philosophy is deeply rooted in my identity as a Japanese-American Jew. Growing up in a multicultural household has not only cultivated my appreciation for diversity but also solidified my passion for bringing people from all walks of life together.
​
In my free time you can catch me obsessing over my dogs, doodling on my iPad, snapping photos, reading about ancient history and working out at the gym. Also I'm a huge nature nut and love to be outdoors at every opportunity.
​
I am currently seeking opportunities in UI/UX, product, and visual design, as well as positions in marketing and project management.
