👋Hi! I'm Ryleigh! I am passionate about combining creativity, psychology, and problem-solving to create intuitive, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing user experiences. My focus lies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and UX/UI Design, where I aim to create meaningful connections between people and technology.

During my time at Penn State, I have applied human-centered design principles to combine technical skills with a user-first approach in creating impactful designs. My interest in design first began in high school through graphic design, cinematography, and visual arts. It was these early experiences that prepared me to develop a deep understanding of design's significant role in shaping user experiences and drove me toward a career in UX/UI.

I look forward to the next steps of my design skill development process and the chance to be involved in professional teams that help to drive positive change in HCI. I love being apart of, contributing to, and learning from collaborative teams and enjoy meeting others to share knowledge, bring creativity, and commitment to purposeful design. For those who wish to connect or collaborate, please get in touch with me!
