UConn Digital Experience Group

About

In my role as a UI/UX designer with the UConn Digital Experience Group (DXG), I play a pivotal role in refining UConn’s online presence. Collaborating closely with professors and staff, I lead initiatives to elevate the visual appeal and functionality of websites. In my day-to-day work, I leverage tools like Figma and WordPress to plan and execute design improvements. Working at DXG has provided invaluable lessons in client collaboration and professional project management. Check out some design before and afters below!
