Hello, I'm Debra and I'm a recent user experience grad with a passion for intuitive and accessible design, eager to contribute my skills and insights to innovative projects and continue to grow and learn.

I enjoy UX design and tech writing, making it as easy as possible for people to use and understand the product.

At my Technical Writer Internship at New World Now, I provide feedback and maintain currency on existing documentation, as well as create new documentation and internal document templates.

I graduated with high honors from the Milwaukee School of Engineering in May 2025 with a B.S. in User Experience and a minor in Psychology, being named to the Dean's List with High Honors for nine consecutive terms.

I think learning is fun! I continue to enhance my UX knowledge after graduation along with learning more about various other subjects and crafts.

Here are three featured case studies to demonstrate how I do work:
