Hi there, I'm Tanja
Adaptive Thinker
Life across Wisconsin, California, and Oklahoma gives me a broad, real-world perspective that shapes human-centered design.
Precision-Driven
18 years in aerospace taught me the value of extreme attention to detail - a mindset I bring to every pixel and interaction.
Fearless Career Shifter
Left a stable career to chase a bigger purpose: designing digital experiences that actually make people's lives better.
Purposeful Creator
I design with empathy, focusing not just on beauty, but on real-world usability, accessibility, and impact.
Hybrid Skills
I bridge technical know-how with creative vision, building digital products that are both precise and deeply human.
Relentless Learner
I'm always sharpening my skills, driven by a passion to grow, evolve, and create experiences that matter.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, with life experiences spanning California and Oklahoma. My professional journey has taken me through a variety of factory settings, where I've honed a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of technical processes. Most recently, I worked as a repair station technician in the aerospace industry for eighteen years, where attention to detail and precision were essential. While I thrived in that role, I always felt drawn toward something more creative, something that would let me shape how people interact with technology.
That calling led me to UX/UI design. I realized that the digital world holds immense power in shaping human experiences, and I wanted to be a part of that. Building websites isn't just about coding or making things look nice - it's about creating solutions that truly make an impact on people's lives. Whether it is a seamless app that saves time or a website that makes information more accessible, I want to design with a purpose. I decided to take a bold step, leaving my established career to pursue my passion for creating meaningful digital experiences.
Now, as I embark on this new chapter, I am excited to combine the precision and technical knowledge I gained in aerospace with the creativity and empathy UX/UI design requires. My goal is to create websites and digital products that are not only beautiful but also highly functional and user-friendly, making a real difference for people in their daily lives. I'm eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing to the world of design.
