Hello! I’m Terina and I’m a UX Designer | Product designer.
It started with drawing all the way back in school, no actually before school. I used to love drawing trees for my granny & trying to get the surface to look accurate by putting the paper on the tree and then drawing on it, trying to get the texture from the tree. (When you are 5 years old, this looks quite, hrm terrible, but my granny kept the picture, she said it was good 😊) After school I studied web design at STADIO Higher Education (previously known as Prestige Academy) for three years. I started off as a web designer in 2004. In 2015 I did a User Experience Design Short Course through Getsmarter & UCT. I really like what I do, the possibilities are infinite with design!
I love creating! I love the whole process from start to finish. Getting stuck with a problem and solving it. I love to incorporate all disciplines of design into one to create and bring awesome ideas to life. I consider myself to be a bright, quick learner, ambitious and self-motivated person who possesses self-discipline and the ability to work with the minimum of supervision. I am a good team player. I love drawing inspiration from the outdoors and being in the presence of our Creator. I enjoy structure, but also out of the box thinking to create something unique and different. I am deadline oriented, have the ability to absorb new ideas and can communicate clearly and effectively.
My nickname has been Tenacious T… apparently I’m tenacious at getting things done properly, I just thought this was the way things work.Â
I’m a bibliophile and I love reading. With regards to UX and design I highly recommend the following books:
At the moment I am living in Perth, Scotland, with my three dogs (you might spot them on quite a few of the photos on my website).
