Hi there, Iβm Cecilia Diep! π
I first discovered my passion for design while taking design-related courses in high school, where I was drawn to the creativity and problem-solving involved in visual communication. I started my professional Graphic Design career a couple years after graduating from the University of Utah. I originally wanted to pursue a career in UX/UI Design, but decided to pursue Graphic Design due to lacking any UX/UI Design experience.
Despite me pursuing Graphic Design, Iβm still continuing to learn about UX/UI Design. In 2022, I finally applied my UX/UI Design knowledge to a personal project and wrote my very first UX case study. I was grateful for being able to combine two of my passions in life: design and PokΓ©mon (a video game franchise).
Now, I enjoy working on design projects that involve editorial, layout design, marketing and web/UX design throughout my 8 years in being a Graphic Designer/Production Artist for The Local Pages LLC and Open Road Publishing. Iβm dedicated in creating clean design solutions that solve business marketing problems.
I'm based in Utah! I was born in Oakland, California, but lived in Utah for over 20 years. When I'm not doing design work, you can find me "catching 'em all" in the latest PokΓ©mon game, eating some good Asian food or obsessing over Taylor Swift.
