Hi, I’m Chelsae - a UX & Product Designer with a strong foundation in visual storytelling and clean, intuitive design.

My work is centered around creating simple, approachable, and user-friendly digital experiences. I enjoy turning complex problems into designs that feel calm, clear, and easy to navigate - especially for beginners or users who feel overwhelmed by technology.

Before UX, I spent years working in photography, which shaped my eye for composition, color, and detail. That background now supports my design work. It taught me how to capture emotion, guide attention, and create visuals with intention - skills I use daily in UI design.

Through the Google UX Design Certificate, I designed CampMate, a beginner-friendly camping app focused on gear shopping, trip planning, and personalized recommendations. This project strengthened my research skills, usabiliity testing, prototyping, and visual design.

I’m currently open to full-time roles, contract work, and freelance UX/UI opportunities.

What I bring to a team:

• Clean and intentional visual design

• Research-driven, user-centered decision-making

• Strong communication and empathy

• A creative mindset shaped by photography

• A willingness to learn, grow, and collaborate

When I’m not designing…

You’ll find me behind a camera exploring new creative outlets, or learning new tools. I’m happiest when I’m creating something, whether it’s a design, a photo, or a new project.
