I design with empathy, curiosity, and intention.
Great design happens at the intersection of people, purpose, and possibility. My process is rooted in fundamentally understanding the users, leading with curiosity, and translating complexity into clear, intuitive experiences.
I care about both the function and emotional impact of design, creating solutions that not only work - but make people feel understood and supported.

People > Pixels
Professionally, I’m a UX Designer & Researcher, and teacher currently based in Florida. I’m passionate about using my background in neuroscience & cognitive psychology to bring a scientific methodology to UX design; creating experiences that resonate with the human mind.
Hi, I’m Brynnlee
As a neuroscience major, I bring a unique perspective to my UX career and any team I contribute to. My understanding of the human brain and its processes informs my approach to user research and design. By incorporating principles of cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction, I create user-centered designs that are intuitive, effective, and enjoyable.
Less Professionally, I’m a gamer at heart and love video games of all kinds. Video games & game design are my free time passion. As well, I enjoy traveling the world with my dog, being an amateur potter (I can make you a mug), and reading books of all genres - including better UX Design.
In an ever-transforming design world, I am constantly learning new things about UX design, data, and new tools to use. Reading is one of those ways I try to better my design understanding. Some of my favorite books are:
Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products Nir Eyal, 2013
The Design of Everyday Things Don Norman, 1988
AI and UX: Why Artificial Intelligence Needs User Experience Gavin lew, 2020
Just Enough Research Jeffrey Zeldman
The User Experience Team of One: A Research and Design Survival Guide Leah Buley
Uncovered key B2B purchasing barriers and translated research into prioritized product improvements.
