Who Am i?

Hi, My name is Plaboni (pronounced plah-boh-nee!)

I’m a UX Designer based in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m a UX team of one at Magnolia Development. I’m a mission-driven designer with a breadth of experience in software engineering.

How did I get here?

I was fortunate enough to have grown up with a computer in my home because that’s how I discovered my love for technology. With enough tinkering around, I started building websites (for fun!) in the 5th grade.

At the height of Myspace, I started playing around with HTML and CSS. I continued to learn how to code in high school, won the Verizon App Challenge, and landed my first internship at Gwinnett County Public Schools at 17 years old.

I went on to earn my Bachelor’s in Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, studying Computer Science with a focus on human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence.

After graduating, I’ve served as a software engineer and UX researcher at AT&T. Now, I’m a senior UX designer at Magnolia Development, building our UX practices from the ground up.
