Hey! I'm Mallory, a designer based in the Windy City. I am an Ohio University graduate with a BS in Visual Communication, and an alumna of the UX/UI Digital Design Bootcamp, Designation. Most recently, I've been working as a Senior UX/UI Designer at a consultancy in downtown Chicago, where I've collaborated closely with a variety of clients and my internal team of interaction designers, product managers, and developers on desktop and mobile applications, and responsive websites. In addition, I've been able to lead a variety of branding, marketing, and illustration-focused projects as well. Outside of my digital designer time, I'm also an avid ceramicist! I work with a group of friends out of a community studio in the Lincoln Park neighborhood creating both wheel-thrown and handbuilt pottery pieces. And if I'm not at the studio, you can find me snuggling my golden retriever, Frannie!
