About Me
Hey there! I'm Chelsey, a designer getting ready to graduate and jump into the real world. Born and raised in central Illinois, I'm currently living here and soaking in the heartland vibes while building my design career.
My design philosophy? Make it matter, make it work.
I'm obsessed with the tiny details that most people don't notice, but everyone feels. Whether it's the perfect button radius or the right shade of blue, I believe these small decisions have a big impact.
Outside of design, I'm usually exploring hidden coffee shops, taking way too many photos of architecture, or attempting to cook recipes I found on Instagram. I'm also learning to play ukulele, though my neighbors might disagree with calling it "music" just yet.
I'm looking for a team where I can grow, learn from talented people, and contribute my fresh perspective. If you need someone who brings energy, curiosity, and a solid foundation in design thinking, let's talk!
