Product Design | Graphic Design | Illustration
Hi! I'm Bridget.
Nice to meet you!
I’m a multidisciplinary designer with experience in UX design, UI design, product design, graphic design, illustration, and photography. I love people, and I’m passionate about making products that are equitable, accessible, and fun to use. My hope is that by using products that I help design, people can grow into the best possible version of themselves. I love working on a team, and I excel at creating genuine connections with the people I work with. My greatest strengths are my loyalty, honesty, work ethic, and curiosity. When I’m not working, you can usually catch me at the movies, running, reading, or playing board games with friends.
