About me.
Hi, I’m Chinyere [chin-yeh-reh] —a UX/UI Designer from London. A few years ago, I called Brighton home. I’m now back in London, thriving in the buzzing city!
❤️ Empathy: My Superpower (Among Others)
I’ve always been drawn to understanding people. Whether capturing stories through photography, styling outfits to fit a vision, or working as a SEN Teaching Assistant, I’ve been in the business of listening, problem-solving, and creating with empathy for over 5 years.
🏛 From Blueprints to Wireframes
I swapped architecture for UX—and honestly, leaving my architecture degree felt like embracing freedom. That moment of clarity eventually led me into UX/UI design, where I could still create with intention and purpose, but now with the added joy, whilst improving people’s everyday lives.
🧩 Lessons from SEN Teaching
Working with SEN (Special Educational Needs) children was one of the most rewarding chapters of my life. It taught me the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in design. This experience has shaped my approach, making me more conscious of creating designs that work for everyone, not just the average user.
🔍 Photography: The Intersection of Photography and UX
I discovered my love for photography while working as a stylist, and since then, I’ve never looked back. My photography is people-focused because I love telling stories and expressing one’s individuality through imagery. It’s my longest creative practice, and now, I’m eager to explore how I can translate my photography skills and philosophies into my UX design career. I'm documenting this journey on my initiative called UXPosure, which delves into the intersection of UX and photography.
Okay, Enough UX Talk…
