Hey, im Timyah

I’m Timyah Cephus, a UX Design Major graduating May 2028. I design user centered experiences that turn ideas into meaningful interactions.

My interest in UX Design started when I took an interactive design class in my freshman year of college. I was originally a Game Design major, but I became enraptured with UX and design as a whole. That curiosity, combined with my new found interest led me to switching my major to UX Design. I am very passionate about it, and I love using UX as a way to create more thoughtful and accessible digital experiences for users to engage with. 

While pursuing my studies I’ve developed a strong foundation in visual design, wireframing, prototyping, user research, and usability testing, allowing me to approach design decisions with both a creative and strategic mindset. I have experience with Figma, Adobe illustrator, and Canva. I also value collaboration and feedback, and I’m always open to refining my work through critique and iterations to create the best possible outcome. 

Outside of class I’m always working on building my portfolio through personal and academic projects. I’m focused on growing my skills in user driven design and exploring how UX can improve accessibility and usability across different platforms.

When I’m not designing, you can usually find me playing video games, watching shows, or finding inspiration through different forms of media. I enjoy exploring new hobbies that interest me, and spending time with friends and family.
