About Me

My name is Kevin Cua, and I'm a UX/UI designer based in Miami, FL. I have spent the last 2 years at Iron Forge Development designing mobile and web experiences for clients across several industries (sports, agriculture, etc).

In May 2020, I graduated from the University of Central Florida (UCF) with a bachelor's degree in digital media - web design.

When I'm not designing screens on Figma, I'm usually either watching random YouTube videos, playing video games, or tending to my pet bunny, Taylor.

Oh, and did I mention that I'm a huge Pokémon fan as well?!

My design journey (...in a nutshell)

1.

It all started back in high school...

I knew I had a genuine interest in design but couldn't quite pinpoint a specific area to focus on. This led me to explore both web and graphic design respectively during my time at UCF.

2.

This specific college course changed my life.

Later on, I discovered UX/UI design after taking a user-centered design course and was immediately drawn to the field. I loved the idea of creating visually-engaging products to help people.

3.

Taking my first steps into product design.

So, after college, I decided to pursue this career path. During the pandemic, I managed to land a design internship at a small software development agency called Iron Forge. Months later, I became one of their promising product designers in the team.

4.

Sooo, what's next for me?

Now that I have 1+ years of experience under my belt, I'm always looking to grow as a designer by tackling more ambitious and impactful UX/UI projects. Moving forward, I would love to apply my product design knowledge to the world of games and tech!

"During the time that I worked with Kevin, we worked together on numerous projects. His professionalism and keen design sense made him a wonderful partner to have. He took direction from both the clients and myself very well but also wasn’t afraid to speak up when he felt a better design direction was in the best interest of the project. I really enjoyed working with him, and I’m confident that he would be an amazing asset to any company’s team."
