Product design through the lens of art, music, and science.
Hi, I'm Chelsea! I’m a multidisciplinary designer with 5 years of UX/product experience and 10+ years of design experience. I create intuitive, human-centered experiences that help people. My background spans UX & product, marketing, fine art, and music. I’ve designed for startups, SaaS, education, and defense. I love solving complex problems, building scalable design systems, and being at the intersection of art, research, and innovation in science and tech.
I currently live in Longmont, CO, where I work remotely for Strategic Education. In my free time, I play cello in a local orchestra, do film photography, rock climb, hike, crochet, and shuffle dance.
