Miykaelah Sinclair is a freelance UX Designer who transitioned into the UX space after working for 10+ years as an Event Producer and Marketing Director in the non-profit and music space. After helping many non-profit organizations and musicians with their professional websites, Miykaelah realized that she most enjoyed working on the UX Design aspects of these websites -- thinking about the audiences and users and how to best meet their needs.
Miykaelah is currently working as a Freelance UX Designer in New York. Described by her UX teammates as data-driven, enthusiastic, organized, and a truly empathetic leader, she loves to lead with listening and delve into the research to truly understand the needs and behaviors of her users. When she's not holding a usability test or mocking up wireframes, Miykaelah loves to practice Hindustani Vocal music, which she has been studying for 5+ years.
