Brenda Whetstone
UX/UI designer
My career has unfolded across the Nonprofit, Health Care, Education and Design industries. I’ve served customers, clients and students while designing and developing volunteer projects, landscape plans, treatment plans and trainings.
These experiences developed skills in observing people’s behavior, developing relationships, anticipating challenges, ideating solutions, and communicating with various stakeholders.
Throughout my career, I have enjoyed the challenge of creating plans, spaces and experiences to meet people’s needs & goals; the design iteration process to optimize form and function; and pulling together a cohesive finished product.
My experience serves me in seeing a user’s journey, identifying pain points, sketching iterations of ideas, working with varied stakeholders, building designs/ideas in ever-increasing fidelity and presenting a workable solution that meets goals and needs across audiences.
