About Me
Hi again! I'm Robyn Paradis, a UX/UI student at SAIT. I'm based in
Calgary, Alberta, currently working as a freelance digital marketer and project coordinator.
I started my career as a small business owner in esthetics, and with a move to
Calgary came a move into tech roles. I quickly found a love for tech and all things creative,
which meshed perfectly with the UX/UI discipline. I thrive when able to work remotely,
and call myself a digital-jill-of-all-trades - if it exists online, I can likely figure it out,
and then write a UX-friendly document on how you can figure it out too.

Outside of Work & Class
When I'm not at work or on SAIT campus, I facilitate cross-team collaboration,
track progress on long-term objectives, and document key outcomes… in other words,
I play a weekly game of Dungeons & Dragons with friends. 🤓
I also love to read, tend to my plant collection, and play any and all games -
video games, board games, card games, you name it!
