About
Allow me to introduce myself. McCoy. Juanisa J. McCoy. Better known as Nisa. (handshake)
I am a designer by nature. I started drawing before I knew how to write. I have had the privilege to work globally with various individual clients and companies. My palette consists of user interface design, user research and testing, visual design, branding campaigns, illustrations and animations, web design, and software/app design.
Currently, I have been exploring design concepts in AI, Blockchain, Raspberry Pi, industrial design, voice and video (especially combined with VR/AR), data, and immersive experiences. In the future, I aim to continue consulting, collaborating, and sharing design solutions across various industries.
Allow me to bring you into my world, and I will be more than grateful to color yours. -
