UX/UI Designer With Experience In Digital Marketing & Graphic Design
BIO
Hi, I’m Elise Jones—a UX/UI Designer and Digital Marketer based in Colorado. I've always had a passion for web design, problem solving, and storytelling. Together, those skills lead me into UX/UI design and marketing. I've designed digital interfaces that connect users and aid them in their journeys, either through project management or journaling.
Having graduated from the University of Colorado-Denver with a Bachelor's in Digital Design, a Certificate in Animation from Front Range Community College, I've since earned a Certificate in Google's Digital Marketing course to further expand my skills in the digital marketing world.
When I’m not designing, you'll find me exploring new mountains to hike, writing fictional stories, and walking my Great Dane, Jack.
