Hi, I’m Ashley.

6105.6px tall by 2016px wide UX Designer based in rainy PNW. Career changer whose first immersive dive into designing for the user was teaching.

G o a l s

My goal has always been to create experiences so intuitive (and hopefully also so fun) that the user doesn’t notice the thought, iteration and research that continually goes into the design.

I design hi-fi digital interfaces that morph annoying experiences into moments of sparkle and joy. I believe that research, collaboration, and reiteration is the key to smart, user-centered solutions.

P a s t

I’ve spent the past 10 years curating individualized, engaging experiences for students in STEM and Art classrooms with a focus on computational and critical thinking. Transitioning to UX doesn’t mean trading in my childhood wonder, but rather reconceptualizing it.

P r e s e n t

The next leg in my adventure (🤞) will be spent harnessing my edutainment and UX / UI skills to create innovative, empathetic experience designs.

I R L

When I'm not obsessing over Figma screens, my attention is on the big screen. If I’m out of the office, you’ll find me at the the drive-in, a MOTH Story Slam, or if it’s Tuesday, B-Movie Bingo.
