About Me

Hi, I'm Jacob Clark Chau Moreno. I studied psychology and human systems integration in college which is what inspired me to start practicing UX design. After I graduated, however, I found myself working IT at Google instead. The skills I learned at that job were invaluable. Leadership, spreadsheets, and project management are just some of the skills that I mastered while at Google. Despite that career shift being drastically different from my intended career path, my passion still lied in UX design. While working at Google, I also partook in several online UX courses, including UC Berkeley's UX/UI boot camp, to further hone and master my UX skills. With everything I've learned in the past few years, I am determined to make an impact in the UX world.
