About

Maxwell Schroder

Line stroke illustration

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.
