About

Maxwell Schroder

I am between penultimate and final year of
university, expecting to
graduate in 2025 with a
Bachelors of Engineering (Hons) in Software. My
studies have taught me hard skills, while my
interests have guided me to
design.

I attended UI/UX workshops in my spare time,
taught myself Figma, and lead the designs on
major pieces of assessment. I also design at
work
alongside front-end development.
