About.
Yes Imogene is my name, it's pronounced like /ˈiːmoʊdʒiːn/.
Who am I.
Let me introduce myself. I'm a young professional, just graduated from the Hogeschool van Amsterdam (Amsterdam University of Aplied Sciences) with a bachelor's degree majoring in Communication & Multimedia Design and with a minor in Trendwatching. In my spare time I'm a "bedroom dj" and I have a part-time job as a sales advisor at a clothing store in Tilburg.
Me as a Designer.
Mission
Evolving as a designer and creating meaningful products whilst finding out where I fit the most as terms of: where can my strenghts be used the best and how can I manage to grow into the UX specialist I aspire to be.
Vision
I aim for inclusive design and accessibility. Exclusion is not inherently bad..sometimes even needed or on purpose, but in general it is due to a lack of attention for the matter. Inclusive design as it is, is an ongoing learning journey for everyone and needs carefull attention and maintenance over time. In the end everybody benifits from a inclusive mindset.
Experience
I'm just starting out, but have done three internships:
🇧🇪 Monkeyshot - UX/UI design.
🇳🇱 KPMG - UX research.
🇳🇱 Medialab - UI design.
I can work with the Adobe suite programs, Figma, Sketch and have basic understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript. When it comes to learning a new tool, Google is my best friend.
Personality
I'm an INPF (a calm energy with a hidden flame wanting to come out) with a natural ability of growing self awareness, empathy, observation and analysing different situations and problems. Excited to get out of my comfort zone to grow as a designer, balancing my dreamy character with strong decision making and behaving like an expert.
Surprise, it's me.
An Airbnb host told me once:
"Don't say fake it till you make it, instead of that say: practice till I will make it"
