Design Philosophy

My design philosophy took a long time to develop and arguably it will constantly evolve! My philosophy reflects both designs and my design process and I aspire to make these three themes evident in my portfolio.

Warm

Every UX designer knows to cultivate a warm and empathetic relationship with their users.
I aim to ensure their experiences are taken seriously.

"Warm" expands to my team members as well. I aspire to ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every member feels taken care of and heard.

Charming

My design process is charming. I love having weird conversations with my team or even encouraging weird, never-before-seen methods to do our work. This charm makes UX so humanistic and fun.

The designs my team and I create that are fueled by our silly ideas and processes tend to resonate well with our users; they see the charm we incorporated into our designs and they engage in that charming fun themselves.

Humanistic

At the end of the day, my users are human beings and human beings are volatile. Humans are more than just personas; the complexity within everyone is what makes UX so much fun!

In my own teams, I encourage more humanistic conversations and interactions to make the design process more fun! My greatest ideas come from the oddest of conversations.

About

Hello! Let's have a more lengthy introduction. I'm Jen!

I am a senior in Purdue University's UX Design program. I am also studying psychology as my minor and will receive a certification in collaborative leadership. For the past two years, I have done a multitude of projects that include user research, testing, and prototyping. I use Figma to create mockups and add interactivity to my designs. I also have some experience working with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Outside of UX, I love video games and art! You can catch me doodling for my classmates. Those passions led me to UX; the fun, beauty, and enjoyment they bring are something I love to incorporate into my designs and design process.
