Hi, I'm Paige!

A creative specialist with a background in ux design, graphic design, production & print design, & photography! I graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth with a can-do attitude and desire to be a jack of all trades. Starting on a path to receive a Marketing degree and Professional Writing minor, I transitioned from the business school to the art school where I could fulfill my creative eagerness with a Graphic Design major, photography minor, and an arts + media minor that allowed me to explore all trades of design. 

As an avid problem solver and a restorative personality, I crave learning and thrive when challenging myself to find better and more efficient solutions to designs. With creative problem solving being a core principle in user experience design and holding a desire to be a jack of all trades, I decided to gravitate my focus towards learning UX/UI design. It’s the perfect bridge between all my favorite things: collaboration, problem solving, and design.

I get most of my energy from being surrounded by people and love working in a fast paced environment. Generally, I am satisfied with my day when I do something that challenges me. I love being busy, active, & outside in the sun… unless I am in a hockey rink! I am always looking for new opportunities to grow, develop new skills, and build beautiful things and purposeful design.
