hi there,

I'm Cianna Chairez. I was born and raised in the heat and vibrance of Austin, Texas and then I packed up and moved to the beautiful (but cold!) Ithaca, New York for school.

I'm a senior at Cornell University studying psychology and user experience design. I have almost four years in the professional design field. I spent three years as an Assistant Graphic Designer working under Cornell's College of Arts and Sciences Design and Marketing Specialist. In addition, I started at Haven Technologies as a User Experience Design Intern in 2022 followed up by a year spent as their Associate Product Designer.

I'm passionate about the intersection of creativity and functionality, finding my niche in the human-centered design process.

What am I currently up to?

(when not studying)

Traveling home to Austin (give me 100 degrees over 30 any day)

Playing with Kenai (my adorable Havanese)

Hiking (you guessed it—with Kenai)

Hyper fixating on a new craft (think: scrapbooking, painting, knitting, etc)
