Background

About Simone Raaths

As a UX Designer at SpotOn Consulting, I apply my fascination with human behavior and psychology to create engaging and intuitive digital products for various clients and industries. I have worked on projects ranging from financial services, e-commerce, and insurance, delivering user research, wireframes, prototypes, and user testing. I also share my UX knowledge and passion as a freelance tutor, guiding students from different countries through the theory and practice of UX design. This experience has helped me refine my own thinking and communication skills, as well as stay updated on the latest trends and tools in the field. My UX journey started in 2018, when I decided to explore this domain after working as an architectural designer for three years. I completed a short course in UX design at the University of Cape Town, a Google Africa scholarship in front-end development at Udacity, and a UI specialisation course at CareerFoundry. These courses equipped me with the skills and mindset to transition into the UX industry and apply my conceptual and problem-solving abilities to digital solutions. I am motivated by the opportunity to understand and empathize with users, and to design products that improve their lives and experiences. I am always eager to learn new things, collaborate with diverse teams, and challenge myself with complex and meaningful problems.
