My Resume

Mackenzie Bickling

Hey! I’m Mackenzie! I’m a UX/UI designer with a certificate in UX/UI from the University of Texas at Austin with skills in Adobe Creative Cloud, User Experience, Visual Prototyping & Wireframing, Aesthetics, User Interface Development, and basic knowledge of Front-End Development. I have strengths in creativity, problem solving, positivity, collaboration, and developing digital products from ideation to execution–as well as iteration. One of my last projects was a 2 week stretch responsive web redesign of a local NPO, Fund Texas Choice. I functioned as project manager on a team of four that interviewed users and stakeholders, reorganized the information architecture, and developed a more engaging and cohesive style–so as to encourage more engagement and support for the cause. The stakeholders loved our final product and are already incorporating it into their design. I am passionate about not only the art of the design itself, but empathizing with people involved–users and stakeholders alike. I genuinely care about the ease and enjoyability of the experience interacting with me and my designs.

I first entered the design world in Lawrence, KS–when I was a freshman in high school. Graphic Design 1 turned to joining Journalism as a Graphic Designer, then becoming the Photography Editor. Design followed me to Austin, TX for college at UT where I joined several clubs as a Graphic Designer, like Spark Magazine. So, it really should’ve been no surprise when I decided to follow a career path with design at the forefront–UX/UI. I absolutely loved how UX/UI combined Graphic Design with a psychological and interpersonal element. It just clicked for me and I can’t wait to grow more and more in this field!

Who am I?

Creativity melts into my life in a variety of ways–design, painting, collaging, baking, etc. My appreciation of other creatives knows no bounds–my favorite modes being movies, television, podcasts, books, and music.

Some of what I’ve been up to…

A flyer I designed for a friend’s book that recently came out. His goal was to portray mystery…

The background of the actual document is transparent so I could print it out on some fun colors.
