About Me
Hey! I'm Jenny. I grew up in Boulder, Colorado.
I'm currently a senior at the University of Washington-Seattle pursuing UX Design. I'm graduating this June with degrees of Informatics B.S. and Geography: Data Science B.A.
Why UX Design?
My passion UX design comes from my interests in art, technology, and storytelling. My focus is centered around creating technology that promotes social justice.
What sparked my first project idea to help college students struggling through their first housing search was the various obstacles I faced when first moving to my first apartment. This project was the first step I took to creating solutions with design.
My Unique Approach
The solution doesn't always lie in traditional products, especially in technology that promotes social justice.
The first game I created was for a class project, an RPG that told a story of inequities caused by technology. That experience shaped how I approach design. I create both traditional UX experiences and storytelling-driven journeys, using interaction and narrative to guide users through complex ideas. In some cases, this takes the form of game design, where I highlight issues such as systemic inequities, drunk driving, and financial literacy.
