Hey, I’m Jua!

( Jooh Ah)

A UX/UI designer & front-end developer based in Richmond, VA.

My favorite aspect of UX design is speaking with users. I love having the opportunity to understand the multitude of ways a product can impact their everyday lives. I love to get my hands dirty, I’m inherently curious & a 10-year background in hospitality - being the intermediary between customers & business owners - has made many aspects of human-centered design really second nature to me.

What else…?

The two best days of my life so far have been a visit to the alpaca farm in the mountains of Virginia & one day, on a cross country road trip, stumbling across a field of prairie dogs at a Utah rest stop.

This little muppet is my girl, Birdie. She has her own corner of the internet, coded & illustrated by me. For a serotonin boost, go see it here.

When I’m not coding or designing, I’m sewing, baking, gardening, & illustrating - digitally or with gouache.
