DHANJAL
Hi I’m Alyssa Dhanjal! — I am a passionate designer currently in my second year of studying for a BSc in UX Design at Norwich University of the Arts.
From a young age, I have always been drawn to creative subjects, and this passion has shaped my academics and career choices.
I have built a strong foundation in design, starting with my Art and Design GCSE, where I achieved an A* (8). In college, I pursued Graphic Design, where I fell in love with digital design. I achieved an A in my A-levels. Currently, I am in my second year of studying for a BSc in User Experience Design at Norwich University of the Arts. During my first year, UX students collaborated with other design disciplines, which gave me a well-rounded understanding of digital design fundamentals, such as visual hierarchy, colour theory, and layout. This experience has solidified my passion for user-centred design, and I am eager to apply and learn new skills in a professional environment, where creativity and innovation thrive.
