about me

My name is Tajaa (tah-juh), you can call me Taj. I’m a teacher turned UX Designer and UI Developer.

I took courses and classes to learn Software Development in 2016 and have been working in design, front end development and education since then.

My experience includes working on enterprise level software and B2C applications for federal, startup and nonprofit clients. And I enjoy every stage of creating intuitive and efficient user experiences with a team.
