About Me
Hello! My name is Eden and I am a UX/UI/Graphic Designer based in Huntsville, Alabama. I've loved design and have spent most of my free time pursuing some form of art or design related activities. I use this continuing passion in my work every day.
Being raised in a military family has taught me a lot about adaptability and self-discipline and while I enjoy every field of design, it has also given me a particular interest in designing for defense related applications.
