I am Leah Williams, a masters student at UT Austin majoring in UX design. I have a Bachelor in Business Administration, UX design, and a minor in psychology.
​
I thrive working on teams filled with talented people where we can create something truly magical. My goal as a UX designer is to serve as an advocate for users in order to create new and awesome innovative technology.
Besides all the skills needed to be a great designer, some of my other skills include python, digital art, project management, data analytics, and research.
