Hello! My name is Clara Oliva.
I'm a former physical therapist who is transitioning to UX/UI through Springboard. I've always had a fascination with art, graphic design, and psychology- and am excited to use these skills and interests in this new chapter of my life.
I grew up in Dallas where I earned my bachelors in biology with a double minor in chemistry and social sciences. From there, I decided to pursue healthcare and earned my doctorate in physical therapy. Despite these degrees not being directly tied to UX/UI- I've learned plenty of transferrable skills such as effective communication, critical thinking, and having empathy. All of which are central skills to have when it comes to researching and designing solutions.
Areas of work I am interested in include healthcare technology, AI, and AR/VR. I would love to sit down and chat more!
