MARTINEZ

a designer who develops and
a developer who designs.

Hello! I'm Adelina Martinez , a student, designer, and developer based in San Diego, CA

I like to make things for the internet.

I'm pursuing my B.A. in Computer Science with a minor in Website Design at San Diego State University. I'm passionate about UX/UI design and frontend development, and currently work as an Instructional Design Student Assistant at SDSU Global Campus and a UX/UI Design and Frontend Researcher at SDSU Digital Innovation Lab. I wear many hats and believe the most meaningful innovation happens at the intersection of diverse skill sets. I’m especially interested in roles that bridge design and engineering.

When I'm not studying, coding, or designing, you can usually find me at the beach playing volleyball, reading, buying too many houseplants, or pondering. Welcome to my corner of the internet, I made it myself :)
