About Grace Forster
I'm a UX Designer and human-centered advocator. Through majoring in Technical Communication User Experience Design at ASU, I have developed my skills in UX design/research and technical communication skills. The road to finally being able to call myself a “UX designer” was quite bumpy. I was attending a local college my freshman year, but transferred to ASU online at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Attending college online has given me the ability to graduate a semester early. A couple weeks after my graduation, I attended an intense UX bootcamp: Ironhack. I went to their campus in Portugal for roughly two months. Even with my limited (more nonexistent) understanding of Portuguese, I honed my skills as a UX designer. All of my classes were taught in English, but studying abroad stilled proved to be a challenge. My education has been anything but traditional, but I am proud of the projects I’ve worked on thus far. Now, I’m an Associate Designer working on UX/UI projects for PBS!
