More About Me

Nice to meet you! I’m Max Abbey, a UX/UI designer based in beautiful Southern California.

I have always been fascinated in understanding the whys, hows and what-ifs of what make people think, feel and do. So after stumbling upon UX design, and learning more about it, my interest was immediately piqued. I liked that UX design combines visual design, cognitive science and psychology to solve user problems and needs.

Shortly after this, I decided to enroll in the Springboard UX/UI Design Certificate Program in hopes of seriously pursuing this field as a career path. I learned how to identify different problems and how to best tackle them from a design standpoint. 

Working in hospitality for many years prior to design, allowed me to diversify my outlook, cultivate a deep sense of empathy and refine my attention to detail. It also helped me recognize my natural ability as a team player and a leader. I was thrilled to discover these skills were directly relevant to UX design. 

Outside of design, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, trying different restaurants and cuisines, watching movies, discovering new music or enjoying a nice glass of wine. If you’re interested in connecting with me, let’s connect on LinkedIn or drop me an email!
