About

Hi, I’m Kosta, a former graphic designer and early childhood educator looking for my start in UI/UX design with an experienced and passionate team. A little bit about me After eight years as a graphic designer, I moved into early childhood education, with the aim of using my creativity and fun-loving attitude to educate young children. Whilst studying and working as a early childhood educator I gained knowledge and practical skills in human behaviour, cognitive theory and psychology. After discovering UX design I saw there was an opportunity to combine my knowledge and apply it to design in the form of a career in UX.

This was an online Men's Lifestyle magazine I started with a couple of friends. As is was before the time of easily accessible CMS websites it was hard to manage and grow a magazine and while working full time.
