My Story
Hi - nice to meet you! My name is Christina Louie and located in Houston, TX.
I’ve always had an interest for designing and building websites. Do you remember MySpace or Xanga? I would spend hours updating code to change the theme of my page. My high school offered a web-design class and I was probably most excited to attend that class over the other ones.
I graduated from the University of Houston in 2011 with a degree in Management Information Systems (MIS). I started my career as a Business Analyst. My first task was to analyze the current platform, document the fields and associated functionality, and create process flow diagrams. As tedious as that may sound, I think it helped build the foundation of creating stellar documentation and understand the technical side of creating websites (apps). Through my 10+ years of experience as a Business Analyst in the IT industry, my interest for UI/UX design grew with each project. I have been helping clients across the globe in developing applications to improve their work experience.
When the pandemic hit, I wasn’t sure if my contract, at the time, would be ending or not. I took that opportunity to invest in myself to pursue my UI/UX design journey and signed up for the UI Design program at CareerFoundry - one of the best decisions I’ve made.
When I'm not designing, you can find me hanging out with my dog, Delilah, building Lego sets, playing Tetris, practicing yoga, or going on photography adventures.
