Hello, I am
Noah Pataky
Since my earliest academic days, the realm of design has been a constant source of inspiration and fascination for me. Introduced to it by my family, I delved deeper into the field during high school, particularly through courses like Digital Media, where I honed my skills using tools like the Adobe suite and explored avenues like animation and video creation. This intersection of design and technology became my passion, leading me to realize that my true interest lay in the research, methodology, and design of user experiences.
Redirecting my academic path from Computer Science to digital user experience-oriented design, I found North Carolina State University's Graphic and Experience Design program to be a perfect fit, offering a strong foundation in immersive interfaces and dedicated user experience systems. Through diverse experiences and cultural exploration, I've grown confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to complex user-centered problems, aligning with my belief in collaborative and diverse design systems.
How I got my Experience
Interfaces
I possess a deep passion for mobile interfaces, marveling at their continual evolution. My time at Samsung afforded me the privilege of exploring the latest UX updates, providing invaluable insights into the intricate process of marketing products to consumers in the dynamic retail space. This exposure has fueled my enthusiasm for staying informed about advancements in the field and understanding the backend intricacies that drive consumer engagement.
Video Games
Over the years, I have immersed myself in playing video games across various platforms. The diverse and immersive worlds, along with their user interfaces that enabled interaction and progression, always captivated my interest. Now, with my background in UI/UX, I have the opportunity to study how these interfaces effectively convey messages and enhance user experiences.
