Creating Impactful work Startups and Businesses | Product Designer
Hi, my name is Caitlin! I love discovering new things in this world and seeing how everything connects. When it comes to design, I believe it can help anyone, even in small ways. I'm here to make an impact by creating user-centered work. I have a decade of experience in Front-End Development and expertise in mobile iOS Native and Responsive Web Design. For over four years, I've helped students gain confidence in themselves as graphic designers and UI/UX designers, helping them grow into the designers they aspire to be and become more self-assured. I teach them how to advocate for themselves and learn from their strengths and weaknesses. You might know me from my role at Designlab, where I coach students transitioning into the UI/UX industry. I also gave a talk at a UX panel with Designlab in 2023 about Freelancing and How to Get Started! I'm your go-to person when it comes to starting fresh in freelancing! For my next role, I'm looking for a place where I can grow. Career growth is really important to me as both an educator and a designer. On a side note, outside of work: I love cooking, gardening, playing video games 🎮, watching tv 📺, and reading. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Projects

Orenda

Orenda will make it easier for people to understand where Introverts come from and for Introverts to understand it’s okay to be an introvert in any social situations. Society has always favored extroverts. Society has always been geared towards extroverts in the work place and at school growing up. A lot of people have pushed the idea that introverts are weak, overly sensitive, and always misunderstood because society doesn’t really know much about them.See More

Planned Plarent

Planned Plarent is a product design tool to help keep your plants happy while making you learn about them. The app gives an easy way to get to know any type of plant with a snap of a picture and allow you to determine to add it to your plants and get to know them more. Users can equip a plant buddy with their new plant and be able to track their health: soil, food, and watering. Happy Plants mean there are happy Plarents.See More

Save the Reefs

I worked with Hurley's Creative Director and Team to create an apparel line to help spread awareness for coral reefs in our oceans. This apparel project was to bring awareness of how much impact we have on our oceans. Please support giving life back to the coral reefs in our oceans.See More
