About Me
Who I am
Hello! I’m Regine Thimothee, a UX & Product Designer whose passion for technology began when I earned my B.S. in Web & Mobile Computing at Rochester Institute of Technology, where I honed my problem-solving skills and learned to think holistically about digital experiences.
After graduating, I joined ADP as a Software Engineer in where I collobarated with UX teams to build accessible React components and utilized scalable design systems and component libraries. This experience that taught me the power of blending technical rigor with user-centered thinking.
Eager to deepen my design expertise, I completed Springboard’s 700+ hour UX program and secured a externship contract , where I led research phase and refined my skills in wireframing, high-fidelity mockups, and prototyping.
Driven by a passion for community and natural hair care, I founded NaturalU, an educational app ( that I am currently working on ) combining video content and Q&A to foster open discussion, where I applied my “ultimate translator” role to bridge design vision and code.
Today, I leverage this journey, from RIT foundations through enterprise-scale projects at ADP, immersive Springboard training , and entrepreneurial innovation with NaturalU , to craft intuitive experiences that honor both design intent and technical feasibility.

How I Chill
When I'm not working, you'll often find me testing my knowledge at trivia night, gearing up for my Muay Thai classes, or immersing myself in video games. Additionally, I'm endeavoring to carve out time once more for my artistic pursuits like watercolor painting and digital illustrations.
