I'm Jacob, a UX/UI designer with 5 years of experience. I care about creating not only visually appealing designs, but products that align with user needs and are WCAG compliant.
I graduated from Michigan State University in 2022, where I learned wireframing, user research, and prototyping. Since then, I've worked as a UI Designer for a GovTech company, revize. Day-to-day, I connect with clients about modernizing their website's UI, ensuring WCAG compliance, and discussing various UX improvements.
As I've progressed in my role, I expanded my responsibilities to take leadership roles for internal projects. Recently, those projects include redesigning our flagship website, creating marketing assets, and designing software components like our calendar app.
One of the foundational elements in my work is ensuring they meet proper accessibility standards. I'm a firm believer that the aesthetic of a design should not come before its usability.
