Devan Talley is a seasoned Graphic and UX Designer, recognized for her expertise in crafting strategic visual solutions that drive meaningful user experiences.
Hailing from the picturesque city of Issaquah, WA, I have been fortunate to call home to some of the world's foremost corporate giants, including Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon, and Costco. Drawing inspiration from this dynamic landscape, my mission is to champion Human-Centered Design and Design Thinking, crafting data-driven visual narratives that captivate audiences both in print and the digital realm.
With a deep understanding of design principles and a passion for solving complex user-centered problems, I aim to make measurable impacts on user experiences, and continuously learn to adapt in a dynamic field. I hope to pursue a role that challenges me intellectually and creatively to design a better experience by researching what the users want. I am a quick learner and relish challenges as opportunities for growth.
I'm also a former college athlete ⚽, jewelry maker💍, painter🎨, daring adventurer🌋, food junkie 🍣, spontaneous camper 🛸, and exercise enthusiast 🏋🏽♀️.
Sincerely,
Devan Talley
