Hi, I’m Celeste !
I'm a designer with a background in Fashion Design and seeking opportunities as a UX/UI designer. I have more than 10 years of experience working as a fashion designer in Montreal, Canada. I moved to Denmark in 2016 and settled in Copenhagen. When I moved, I decided to challenge myself and have a change of career. I always wanted to make the jump to graphic design, and I was fully motivated to do just that. One thing led to another and last I discovered UX design. I was immediately interested because I like the philosophy of creating a good experience for the users.
