About Me
👩🏻💻 Hi, I'm Jenel Jyl Braza, a graphic & UI/UX designer based in Las Vegas. Currently, I'm a Graphic Designer at Amazing Brands, designing for their iconic brands such as Pinkbox Doughnuts, Bagelmania, Piero's, and Hot Dog on a Stick!
✒️ I've been drawing since I was little and always knew I wanted to pursue a creative career. I first developed my passion for graphic design at SECTA. Then I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design & Media from UNLV, where I dived more into branding, marketing, packaging, motion graphics, and UI/UX design.
💻 At UNLV, I was part of the SEO UX Design Research Lab. I had the opportunity to present my team's UX project at two conferences, further developing my ability to communicate complex ideas, creative collaboration, and adapt ideas for diverse audiences.
✨ My goal is to create thoughtful, effective designs that serve both the business and its audience. As I continue to grow in my career, I'm excited to explore where my skills can make the greatest impact, with a particular interest in marketing, product, and UI/UX design! When I'm not designing, I love to play video games, read, or practice my electric guitar >:D

Capstone
UNLV Graphic Design Capstone 2024 — "Metamorphosis"
My capstone, "soulm8s", is a culmination of my undergraduate studies at UNLV and a transition from student to professional designer!
As part of the Asset Team, I organized assets for the event book, social media, and web! As Asset Team lead, I ensured all files were properly prepared, coordinated deadlines & sent reminders to keep teams on schedule.
