About Me

Hi, I'm Amber Pettaway, a UX/UI Designer based in Providence, RI.

My journey into design is a bit unconventional. I initially studied Japanese Language and culture at Eastern Michigan University.


During my corporate career, I stumbled upon the world of User Experience and User Interface Design. I decided to dive headfirst into it, seeking opportunities for learning and networking; eventually earning a Google UX Certificate through Coursera.


Currently, I'm a volunteer Designer with Game Payy, an upcoming startup that has given me the chance to put my skills to the test and create meaningful user experiences.


Let's connect and create something amazing!
