Hi there!
My name is Rai Barnard (they/them), and I'm a junior UX/UI Designer currently based in Dallas, TX.
​
As a designer, I bring a unique blend of creativity and analytical thinking to every project. With a college education in biological sciences, neuroscience, and fine arts, I have a diverse background that allows me to approach design challenges from multiple angles.
​
My approach to UX/UI is user-centered with a focus on accessibility. Design should empower users through functional, intuitive, and delightful experiences. Whether through a website, an app, or a simple survey, my goal is to create a seamless user experience with a meaningful impact.
​
If you're looking for a UX/UI designer who is passionate about people and committed to creating exceptional user experiences, I'd love to connect with you!
