Hi, I'm Jocelyn! I am a UX/UI designer who loves turning complex problems into intuitive digital experiences.

My path into UX started with graphic design, but I quickly realized I was just as interested in why something works as how it looks. That curiosity led me to earn a master's degree in Web & User Experience, where I discovered a passion for designing sites that are thoughtful, accessible, and genuinely useful.

Today, I design digital experiences at Evergy that balance user needs with business goals, collaborating with developers, content strategists, and stakeholders to bring ideas from concept to launch. Whether I'm wireframing in Figma, refining sitemaps, or obsessing over the tiny details that make a new site component feel effortless, I'm happiest when I'm solving problems with people in mind.

When I'm away from my desk, you'll usually find me exploring Kansas City's parks on a long walk, checking out the latest and greatest small business (bonus points if it’s a coffee shop), or learning a new art related hobby with my friends (as of recently, I have been obsessed with water coloring, block printing, and jewelry making).

I'm also passionate about the local design community. As Programming Chair for AIGA Kansas City, I help organize events, connect with fellow designers, and create opportunities for learning and mentorship.

I believe great design is equal parts empathy, curiosity, and collaboration and I'm always excited to tackle the next challenge.
