About Me
Hello,
I’m Aspen, a designer who loves bringing clarity to complexity. With a foundation built through my education at Texas State University and hands-on experience at Pushstart Creative, I’ve developed skills across UX, UI, and visual design that help me craft thoughtful, user-centered experiences.
I thrive in collaborative environments where strategic thinking and creative execution come together to solve real problems. Recently, I completed the 12-Week MBA course with Abilitie, which deepened my business understanding and sharpened my strategic approach. I’m currently seeking a new opportunity that offers meaningful challenges and growth.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me learning to golf, enjoying Austin’s live music scene, or spotting design quirks in video game HUDs and restaurant menus.
Let’s connect!
