More About Alexis
Thanks for checking out my portfolio — I hope you enjoyed exploring my work. In case you're curious, here’s a bit more about me.
Psychology to UX
As a psychology student, I became fascinated by how people think, feel, and interact with the world around them.
Campus Involvement
As I got more and more involved in campus groups during my undergraduate career I often found myself in roles where I was working on graphic design or updating websites.
Tech Found Me
My interest in technology and human interaction grew as I took undergraduate courses in design and explored how products digital or physical could enhance how people interact and live.
Divine Inspiration
I realized that this field perfectly combined my love for communication, research and my creative instincts.
Long Story Short
What began as curiosity became a commitment to creating accessible, human-centered experiences. I’m passionate about making products that not only work well but feel intuitive and inclusive for everyone.
In my Free Time
When I’m not on my laptop, you can catch me at a local coffee shop with a new book, watching the latest true-crime doc, or at a concert.
Resume
I’m a multidisciplinary communicator and designer with experience across UX research, digital content creation, and accessible design. I’ve worked in academic, healthcare, and creative environments—building design systems, managing social media strategies, and supporting user-centered research. My work emphasizes clarity, inclusion, and thoughtful collaboration across teams and platforms.
