Shelby Cinca: Product Designer & Musical Explorer

Orange hatted bespeckled designer holding rhomboid guitar body and wearing a black jumpsuit

With a particular focus in music hardware, I navigate the subtleties of UX/UI design, striving for clear communication and best practices, while infusing my creations with unique, creative twists when they enhance the design's purpose and functionality.
