Hi, I’m Mel!
UX ● User Experience ● Designer
With over six years of expertise, I specialize in crafting impactful, accessible experiences across both physical and digital spaces through strategic product design.
Why User Experience Design?
I see design as a tool for clarity—turning complexity into something approachable and intuitive. By prioritizing accessibility, strategic information design, and thoughtful interactions, I craft solutions that make navigation effortless and experiences more engaging.
My understanding of the interplay between physical and digital experiences enables me to craft immersive design solutions that address real-world challenges, all while keeping people at the heart of what I solve for.
What I Bring to a Team
I thrive in collaborative environments, tackling multifaceted, ambiguous challenges to create thoughtful, user-centered solutions. By prioritizing clear communication and taking initiative, I channel my curiosity to uncover insights and drive meaningful, inclusive design solutions.
