About Evie
Hi, I'm Evie. I'm a UX Designer, but my design journey started in 2007 with some cringeworthy Myspace layouts. I was teaching myself HTML, playing around with colors and fonts. A couple of years later I got into print design through a yearbook class, and that's when I realized I really love creating things.
In college, I majored in Landscape Architecture, designing outdoor spaces through mockups and draft drawings. It taught me how to think spatially and pay attention to details, and that's a mindset I still bring to every project. After graduation I decided to move into tech, starting as an app developer. But while I was coding, I found myself way more interested in how people interacted with the app than the code itself - and that's how I fell into UX.
I started freelancing, mostly working with healthcare startups to design CRM interfaces. That's when I decided to level up and pursue a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University in Chicago. While I was in grad school, I got a job at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, the #2 best business school in the US. I started redesigning a career management website there. After that I moved into a UX Analyst role, managing the Executive Education website - a platform with over 98k monthly users.
I quit my job at Northwestern to pursue a career in UX consulting where you’ll find me now.
Outside of work, I'm inspired by modern art, photography, and minimal design. I love how a simple, well-crafted space - whether it's a room or a screen - can make you feel something. And that's what I strive to do in every project: create experiences that feel effortless but leave a lasting impression.
