Not just my words—hear it from my previous managers
As an instructor, Wakana went beyond simply teaching—she actively shaped the next generation of designers by bringing fresh content, innovative ideas, and engaging projects to enhance student development.
Wakana is the most independent UX/UI designer I have had the pleasure of working with. Her deep understanding of the design process has given her a sharp sense of what is needed in any project.
Wakana was an asset to our team and supervising her was an honour! She played an important role at Latincouver as UX/UI designer, making small changes with big impact in our main website, and designing from the scratch the whole website for our main event.
