hi, i’m beverly

I’m a graduate student with experience in large organizations, seeking UX design roles that are impactful and human-centered. For the past few years, I’ve been a content designer at Microsoft and this experience brings a unique and multi-disciplinary lens to my work in UX design.

In my free time, I play and work on video games, create art, and enjoy cuddling with my dog. Want to know more? Ask me anything.

 
Beverly volunteered to work with me on a storytelling event in conjunction with NPR’s The Moth and was an absolute joy to work with. While on a very tight timeline and with considerable design constraints, she helped deliver stunning visuals that brought the event to life and significantly increased our applicant pool. She was extremely easy to work with, highly responsive and communicative throughout...

...Beverly hit the ground running and in all honesty - impressed the wheels off executive teams of both groups with the work. She is one of those rare combinations of talent, tenacity and skill and I am honestly - going to make a poster of that event creative for my office once we launch.
