Hi! I'm Kristen Wakamoto, a 20-something year old from Los Angeles, California who is a little bit obsessed with cupcakes, elephants, calligraphy, and anything Tiffany blue. The technical side of me comes from a deeper place. Having parents with a graphic design and computer science background, I was always around new technology and got interested in computers at an early age. Fast forward about 10 years or so, I graduated from the University of California, Irvine and received my Bachelor's Degree in Informatics with a specialization in Human Computer Interaction. With a strong theory and research background, I then wanted to utilize the skills I gained and put them to use towards user experience design. I have completed a full time 10 week user experience design immersive program at General Assembly where I learned how to incorporate simple and clear design for a unique experience. I strive to keep making experiences that honestly just make sense for people. Everyone has an experience -- that is something that is not going away -- so why not try to make those experiences flawless.
