On a client call
Hey! That’s me.
Hey! That’s me.
I’m Ellen, a UX and product designer who loves asking questions, solving messy problems, and creating experiences that feel thoughtful, intuitive, and human. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me traveling somewhere new, trying a new creative hobby, or hanging out with my two cats.
I found UX at the intersection of two things I already loved: graphic design and working with people. Years in customer service taught me how to listen and understand people, while design gave me the creativity to turn those needs into something meaningful.

My Process
No two projects look exactly the same, and neither does my process. I listen, research, experiment, and iterate—always keeping real people and their needs at the center of what I create.
#Step 1
Research & Discovery
Explore user needs, stakeholder goals, and existing experiences. Gather research and insights to build a strong foundation for user-centered design.
#Step 3
UI Design & Prototyping
Bring ideas to life through thoughtful visual design and realistic prototypes, ensuring every interaction feels intuitive, engaging, and purposeful.
#Step 2
Structure & Wireframing
Translate research into intuitive user flows and low-fidelity wireframes, ensuring every interaction is purposeful before moving into visual design.
#Step 4
Development & Testing
Fine-tune the experience through user testing, developer collaboration, and feedback to create a polished final product.
