Hi there! My name is Ruth.

I am a UX Designer located in Minnesota with experience designing in-house for Best Buy, working at the creative agency KNOCK Inc., and working alongside clients pro bono. I enjoy spotting Norman doors in the wild and often bore my friends by strategizing how the design of the door could be improved. I am a collaborative and empathetic professional, always advocating for inclusive and equitable user experiences.

Best Buy

I worked on the Payments Experience team, where I helped transition ownership of a credit card application partnered with Citi Bank. I documented pain points and opportunities and made improvements based on feedback from usability testing. I partnered with product managers and engineers daily, collaborating to create the best user experience. 

Strive Publishing

Mary Taris, the founder of Strive Publishing, was interested in shifting her current website to a community engagement platform that will serve both emerging authors and storytellers from within the larger black community.

Support(ED)

Talking about mental health should be as normal as talking about any other part of your body. Erasing the stigma, the mobile app Support(ED) helps those in need of supporting a loved one and educates them.
