Hi, Iโ€™m Allison. Itโ€™s great to meet you :)

Iโ€™m a UX designer committed to solving complex problems with thoughtful, simple, human-centered design. Iโ€™ve always lived somewhere between art and tech. I started my creative journey in middle school where I submitted my drawings through Arts Connection and won gift cards for art supplies. Over time I grew to also love working with technology and started college in computer science. In my second year, I discovered UX and it immediately clicked: I could still work with tech, but in a way that felt more human, visual, and collaborative. Thatโ€™s when I decided to pivot into design.

I completed my Bachelors of Science in User Experience Design at the University of Michigan in May 2025. Working with mission-driven teams has taught me to think critically in my work, design with empathy, and create clear, cohesive experiences that respect usersโ€™ time and needs.
