Hi, I’m Avery!

I'm a UX/UI Designer based in Chapel Hill, NC. I pair my understanding of cognitive psychology with human-centered, creative design to craft optimal user experiences.

A Little Bit

About Me

My interests in technology, design, and creative innovation have always been integral to my identity. 

As a child, I would spend my free time filling notebooks with drawings of imaginary websites, showing them off to my friends, and making adjustments where they saw fit. Today, those same instincts have led me to pursue UX/UI design as a profession. I’m truly passionate about what I do and I aspire to improve human-computer relationships through functional, intuitive design. 

I'm not only fascinated by the way technology shapes how we interact with the world, but also by the role that human behavior and cognition play in determining whether those interactions feel natural or frustrating. When designing, it is important to consider these small cognitive cues that can make or break a user’s experience. In the end, a more intuitive and appealing design leads to a happier user and a more successful host. 

I’m graduating from UNC Chapel Hill in May 2026 with degrees in Information Science and Psychology. Information Science has given me a strong foundation in how systems are structured, how information is organized, and how to think critically about the architecture behind every interface. Psychology has given me an equally valuable perspective, deepening my understanding the factors that influence how people make decisions. Together, these disciplines have helped me approach design with both analytical thinking and empathy for the people I'm designing for. 

Aside from UX/UI, I spend my time dancing, choreographing, reading, and drawing. I love to explore different creative outlets and am always trying new things!

I am actively looking for opportunities to grow as a designer and make meaningful contributions to the field. Please reach out below if you’re interested in getting to know me more!
