ABOUT | Yasmeen Portfolio

YASMEEN SANTILLAN

Bienvenidos, I am (Yaz-Mean) a learner and charismatic designer. I excel within innovation, constructive criticism, and impartiality. I concentrate in designing creative visuals and advocating for users who come across complex problems in search for delightful user experiences. I have obtained additional technical skills by attending Georgia Institute of Technology.

I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a BS in social science that has helped me better empathize with users. Part of my design process relies on understanding who the user is and the rest proceeds with inventive thinking with the possibilities of solutions.

Apart from designing, I take delight in being a food enthusiast and world tourist. I believe life is about living and not just surviving! ༊ ⋆｡°

My Interests

Exercise

My hobbies include staying active by visiting my local gym and exploring hike trails. I have always enjoyed keeping a busy schedule and staying active allows me to stay preoccupied and in good health.

Camilia

The best part of my day is when I get to spend time with my best friend, Camilia. I adopted her off a farm due to her last owners being unable to care for her & we have been inseparable ever since. She truly brings me the best happiness.

Books

During my time alone, I take delight in reading books. some of my favorite genre to read are Thriller, Romance novel, and History. I find that reading helps me relax and decompress from a long day.
