Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innovation

I enjoy being able to design and develop new brands and products, and create tools that benefit people who want to learn new things.

Current Roles/Previous Experience

I am a User Experience Designer (UXD) on the Software Tools team and am responsible for creating, implementing, testing, and iterating on the experience, visual aesthetic, and branding of Academic Innovation’s applications and initiatives. As a UXD, I work closely with behavioral scientists, software developers, data scientists, and University student fellows, faculty, and staff. Prior to my role at Academic Innovation, I was a Multimedia Designer on the Michigan Medicine side and also worked as part of an architectural design team in Washington, D.C.
