I’m Georgia Siapno, and I’m passionate about Interaction Design. My educational journey took me to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where I had the incredible opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology, refine my user research and design skills, and collaborate with real stakeholders across diverse industries, from mobility to manufacturing and beyond.
As a designer, my primary focus is creating meaningful experiences for people. I thrive on continuous learning, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. My adaptability is one of my greatest assets, as I firmly believe that flexibility is the key to achieving outstanding results.
In my eyes, design is a powerful force that shapes the tools and ideas that revolutionize how we perceive and interact with the world. I am excited to continue my journey in this ever-evolving field, contributing to innovative solutions that enhance the human experience.
