I’m Shelly, and I’m always excited to investigate and solve UX mysteries.

Starting Fall 2025, I will be pursuing my M.S. in Information Experience Design at Pratt Institute.

I bring my energy and focus to deep dive into uncovering human-centered problems, discover new insights, and craft data-driven solutions. I have a preference for spending more time understanding the issue before jumping into ideating.

My motivation for UX lies in connecting with people and helping them feel less frustrated. I have an interest in learning more about people and finding patterns (or, even better, the unexpected!) I’ll always bring curiosity and an open ear to any conversation - whether it be with users, developers, managers, or stakeholders. My teaching experience has strengthened my ability to work with empathy at the forefront, represent the interests of everyone involved, organize to reach goals, and look at the larger implications of decisions. At the end of the day, what drives me is knowing I could create painless, thoughtful, and (hopefully) joyful experiences through impactful UX work.

I am actively seeking opportunities to continuously learn new methods, meet new people, work collaboratively with others, and hone my current skills to better investigate and solve the unknowns of any human-centered design problem.
