Hi, I am Mikias Lema.
Based in Washington D.C. Metropolitan
a UX designer at work, photographer, and soccer player outside of work. I am based in Washington D.C. Metropolitan.
I’m an open-minded guy with an unconventional approach to design. My specialization comes from Informatics (Human-Computer Interaction). I do several iterations on each point and usually end up refining the one I find most controversial; I love design critiques. I believe my diverse background and skillset gives me a unique edge as it allows me to quickly execute when it comes to shaping meaningful human experiences for screens.
When I'm not designing I enjoy playing soccer, and taking street photographs. I’m constantly evolving, learning, and growing so you can expect that working with me is going to be a fun and exciting ride.✌🏽
