Hi! My name is Sofia.

Hello Everyone! I am Sofia Grytsenko and I am a UX/UI designer who loves psychology and design.

I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I attended the Bergen County Academies for Computer Science. From this experience, I learned that I wanted to be more focused on how people interact with technology rather than create technology itself.

I ended up going to Rochester Institute of Technology for Human Centered Computing; there I learned how to design and code full applications for mobile and web. I now work as a Quality Assurance Analyst for Continual Care Solutions to ensure a good product for non-profits. I am excited to transition more into creative work.

I love cross-stitching, day dreaming about potential products, but also hiking and seeing live music. I also spend a lot of time thrifting and collecting cloths for a flea market business that I run with my friend. My favorite foods include Birria Tacos and Miso Ramen! I really try to be apart of my community and see new things.

I am the most excited for the opportunity to create my own products in this course, and to use what I learn to create cloths and products for my brand. I worry about my level of skill, but I will work hard to improve quickly.

P.S This is my cat, Lucy. She has been with me since 3rd grade. Megumi is my guinea pig who I have had since 2021.
