Emily Oakes
My journey into UX began during a pivotal class at VCU called Human-Centered Design, where I discovered the perfect blend of my natural problem-solving skills with my passion for color, typography, and technology. This fusion has since fueled my enthusiasm for crafting seamless user experiences. I thrive when collaborating with clients and companies who share my passion for design and prioritize user experience.
Hello, I'm Emily, a Designer based in Richmond, Virginia, specializing in product and user experience design. I hold a BFA in graphic design from VCUarts and have over 5 years of experience in UX as a consultant, collaborating with diverse clients across various industries to tackle complex problem statements.
I am deeply passionate about user experience and always looking to combine this passion of mine with other areas of my life like my passion for video games and love for mobile app designs. When I am not desiging, you can find me still creating. I love to stretch my creative noggin by trying different hobbies in my free time. I also enjoy playing video games on my PC or Switch 🎮, winning matches on the pickleball courts 🏓 and reading on cozy, rainy days 📖.
