!Hola! ?Como Estas? My name is Tyla Chanell Miller. I am currently pivoting from my role as an seasoned

🍎Educator/Curriculum Advisor📚 into 📱 UX Designer💻. As an entry level UX Designer based in the Greater Chicago Area (East Chicago, Indiana, a predominantly Hispanic city), I get to combine my love for technology and culture with my passion for equity, artistry and creative design. I feel liberated when I get to use my creativity and problem-solving skills to create solutions that not only look great but also is useable, equitable, useful, and enjoyable for the users. When I'm not designing, you can usually find me cooking, doing makeup, at a networking event, or spending quality time with my mom. I believe that continuous learning is the key to success, and i'm always on the lookout for fresh challenges to keep me motivated and engaged.
