About Me

Loloma! (Hello) my name is Dianne Numkena and I am an aspiring UI/UX designer. Originally from Shungopavi, AZ, a small village on the Hopi reservation, I traveled down south to attend school at Arizona State University where I received my bachelors in Computer Systems Engineering with a minor in American Indian Studies. I hope to integrate my interest of psychology and human interaction with my current tech background as well as my cultural heritage to create unique and clever products for future users!

Outside of work I love cooking, baking, finding new restaurants, houseplants 🌵, beading and thrifting!
