Hi there! I'm Xiomara (see-oh-mar-ah)
And I am passionate about design.
About Me
I am currently working as a full-time Senior UX Designer for the software company Logility. Utilizing over two decades of educational, design and leadership experience, I care about designing products and services that customers want and that businesses need. I bring hard work, efficiency and a history of success to the table and strive to provide a level of work that exceeds expectations. I enjoy having the opportunity to work closely with a company, team and/or client where creativity, innovation, teamwork, relationships and the user experience process is valued. I also enjoy expanding my business contacts, engaging in design discussions and other creative collaborations.
I hold a BFA in Graphic Design, a M.Ed in Art Education, a Post-Master's Certificate in School Leadership, and a EdD in Leadership & Learning all from the University of Tennessee. I also have a certification in UX/UI Design from Springboard.
Contact me by email or LinkedIn if you'd like to work together, connect or chat about design!
