// about me
Hi, I'm Solida.
I'm a Product UX/UI Designer and former full-stack developer, so I design with a clear sense of how things get built. Most recently I was a Product Designer at Diversys Software, serving as their sole Product Designer for 6 years.
During my free time, I am an avid Book Reader and Collector, enthusiastic coffee and matcha drinker, builder of miniature kits and collector of plushies. I had stepped out of the city life most recently (Toronto) to live in the charming town of Tillsonburg, Ontario where I embrace my small town roots.
