Who Am i?
Hi, My name is Plaboni (pronounced plah-boh-nee!)
I’m a Product Designer based in Atlanta, Georgia. I run .psd, a design agency where I craft thoughtful, mission-driven experiences, and I’m a UX team of one at Magnolia Development, building our design foundation from the ground up.
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 the Lead UX Designer at Magnolia Development, building our UX practices from the ground up, while growing .psd into a studio that merges creativity, compassion, and technology.
