About Me
Hello, I’m Aspen!
I’m Aspen Walter, a designer who loves bringing clarity to complexity. I studied design at Texas State University and gained hands-on experience at Pushstart Creative. My work spans UX/UI, visual design, and strategic thinking to craft thoughtful, user-centered experiences.
I thrive in collaborative environments where strategy and creativity come together to solve real problems. Recently, I completed the 12-Week MBA course with Abilitie, which strengthened my business perspective and sharpened my strategic approach. I’m now seeking a new opportunity that offers meaningful challenges and growth.
Outside of design I enjoy learning to golf, exploring Austin’s live music scene, and spotting design quirks in video game HUDs and restaurant menus.
