Hello
Angel Bennett
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. Please visit my LinkedIn profile or look at my portfolio for more information about me and examples of my work.
About Me
Becoming a UX designer has been a lot of hard work, but worth it in the end; I get to do things I love to do every day. To me, being a UX designer is a mix of sociology and art in a digital form, allowing for endless possibilities. Creating Usable products is me sailing my craft, adapting the product to appeal to a large audience is rewording.
I first became interested in becoming a UX designer when I met my dear friend Alan Underwoods, now a 25-year award-winning UX designer in my early twenties, who looked at a geeky artist and was like, did you know? I have been hooked ever since.
A large part of my passion for me is that I bring other things I enjoy into my job, like my love for photography. In my free time, I do photoshoots for up-and-coming rappers, shooting shows, and publicity shots. I love exploring a new city, hiking it, and finding
its hidden charms, translating the traits I see into my art, clothing, and digital work.
It is enjoyable to translate the visual aspect into a physical form; creating a design prototype is challenging and rewarding when you finally get it to work. Helping me in this pursuit is my love for reading and learning about new things. I read The Rhino book on JavaScript not because I want to be someone who codes but because I find it essential to understand how it all works. When I wanted to learn how to use grids, I read Josef Muller-Brackmann; ‘Grid Systems in Graphic Design.’ Learning as I have gone to become a better designer besides natural talent.
Design Books that inspier me
Kobayashi, Shigebobu: ‘A Book of Colors.’
Kobayashi, Shigebobu: ‘ Color Image Scale.’
Krug, Steve: ‘Don't Make Me Think.’
Norman, Don: ‘The Design of Everyday Things.’
Muller-Brackmann, Josef: ‘Grid Systems in Graphic Design.’
Sierra, Kathy; ‘Badass Making users awesome.’
The Future
My goal is a degree in sociology and technology, allowing me to hone my craft even more. I'm three classes from a university transfer. Making the combination of self-taught and formal education a marketable skill, I know how to learn formally and informally—making me an excellent UX designer.
