HELLO FRIEND!
My name is Teresa Tarn and I’m a UX Designer passionate about improving global education. Great learning and discovery experiences rhapsodize me. I’m also a snowboard junky, voracious doodler, and eggplant fanatic. Ask me about it!
I think I'm much more interesting in person than on paper, but you should decide by meeting me. Let's talk!
