About Richard Valentine
I’m a UX Designer recently trained at the Flatiron School.
My past holds various positions from outside the field of design and a myriad of transferable skills to use on my journey into the field of UX design. I chose to study UX design because it is a combination of social science, creativity, technology and problem solving which compliments my past. I’m seeking to apply the various skills I've acquired over the years and leverage my background in education, sociology, emigrant experience and extensive travel to aid in my UX journey.
In my spare time I enjoy DJing, all arts (culinary arts too), and play around with digital music production apps to compose beats. You can find me cycling through the streets of New York or regularly out on a dance floor or a concert in a small performance space.
