About Me
Hi, I’m Aspen
A multidisciplinary designer who enjoys turning complexity into experiences that feel clear, calm, and intuitive. With agency and in-house experience across SaaS and B2B products, including work with GE, PepsiCo, SodaStream, and startups, my work is grounded in both craft and problem-solving.
Collaboration and curiosity shape my approach, bringing together strategy and creativity to solve real problems. Completing the 12-Week MBA with Abilitie strengthened my business perspective and deepened how I think about product and design decisions.
Currently seeking opportunities with meaningful challenges and room to grow.
Outside of design, I enjoy learning to golf, exploring Austin’s live music, and spotting design quirks in video games and restaurant menus.
