I’m Raene Horist, a UX/UI designer with a background in fine arts and web development. I am a personable, multifaceted and creative professional with an enthusiasm for color theory and universal design. I'm super excited to share that I've earned a certificate in UX/UI design from UC Irvine! If you mix all that up with my natural empathy, desire for collaboration and lifelong learning, you get a valuable asset for your team.
In my free time I like to experiment with various artistic mediums, play co-op video games and watch a good musical or quirky movie. I enjoy most colorful things and hold nerd culture near and dear to my heart. Even if it's not specifically my thing, I love meeting people who are passionate about their thing.
