Designing intuitive solutions that empower people through research, empathy, and creative thinking.
Defining the problem, dentifying user stories and flows, creating wireframes, and conducting usability tests. I make sure that I am aligned with your expectations for a project and creating a seamless experience for your users.
Creating sketches, identifying the brand identity, conducting preference tests, crafting the style guide and high fidelity mock-ups. I create interfaces based on user research findings that adhere to up to date accessibility standards.
Developing functional, high fidelity mock-ups or fully crafted sites using the HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript needed for the solution and deploying these within a testing environment. I make your ideas come alive.
The thought process is powerful. Read the following case studies for a more in depth look at of my design process.
I’m a Denver based UX/UI designer who combines a love for connecting with people and strengths as an educator, to create user-based innovative creations. Ask those closest to me and they will tell you that I care deeply about a lot of different issues including, but not limited to, environmental justice, social justice, and women’s issues. I believe design can be a powerful force in informing people and improving people’s lives as well as giving them new opportunities and I strive to be a socially-responsible designer who thrives under creative challenges.
When I am not designing, you can find me rock climbing in Colorado’s beautiful canyons.
Through a collaborative process with clients, I design digital experiences that help small businesses thrive and better understand their users.
Katy Wellington is a gifted user experience web designer. I have had the opportunity to work with her on two projects in 2020. On each project she showed the utmost skill and sensitivity. The final product of her work has been fantastic. I definitely plan to seek out Katy's assistance on future projects.
I had the extreme pleasure to work with Katy, who was an indispensable part of building my website. Without her expertise and drive my website would be a far inferior product (and it would likely still be half-finished). She took the time to learn all about my business and spent a large amount of her time listening and learning before moving forward with the design. Understanding the importance of both form and function, Katy was able to sort through all my wild ideas, put a clear order to them, and deliver on a design that she knew would both keep me happy and also meet the functional demands of the site - something that is often difficult if not impossible to achieve.
As Katy's UX design mentor I have seen her grow to become a confident capable designer. She is a process-driven designer that is capable of aligning business requirements with user needs to create meaningful and memorable experiences. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a fast learning, motivated young UX designer.
Always the professional, Katy is a true collaborative design partner with a strong work ethic to produce rigorous and accessible standard aligned lessons for all students. Katy puts students first and her instruction delivery exudes excellence.
Katy was a joy to work with and brought creativity and expertise to my website design. She asked the right questions to get to know our brand and then worked diligently to create content that reflects our business feel and values in a beautiful and concise manner. Katy was responsive to questions and suggestions and made sure we were happy with our website. We've gotten many compliments on the look of our site both on computer and mobile views. I would whole heartedly recommend Katy and her work.
