Hi, I’m Mckenna 👋

I’m a creative and down-to-earth designer with a knack for crafting practical solutions.

My goal is to bridge the gap between thoughtfully designed technology and users who rarely have the opportunity to interact with well-designed digital experiences.

My Design Process

“I am not the user, the user is not like me!”

I believe that a good design is accessible, functional, and informed by a deep understanding of the user.

Discover:

  • What is the problem I am trying to solve?

  • Why does it exist?

  • Who are the users dealing with the problem?

  • Has anyone tried to solve this problem before? How?

Design:

  • Sketch and Wireframe

  • Prototype

  • Test

  • Iterate

Define:

  • How might I solve this problem?

  • What are the design constraints?

  • What features need to be included?

  • Create personas, journeys, service blueprints, etc

Deliver:

  • Present design

  • Analyze response

  • Did my design solve the problem? Did it create a different problem?

  • How can my design be better?
