πŸ‘‹ Nice to meet you!

I'm Therina, and I'm currently studying Communication Arts and Design Practice and minoring in Psychology at the University of Waterloo.

Connecting what I'm learning in my studies with UX design, I'm passionate about understanding how users communicate and process information, then make decisions when using digital interfaces.

In my free time, I can be found pulling on plastic rocks️, exploring a fictional world, or spending time with my dog, Shiro!
