Mackenzie Draper

Background

Once upon a time, I was the proud owner of a blog called “The Happy Cat.” I spent hours designing: choosing the bright green and pink color scheme, adding gifs of cats, space, and cats in space, and more. I was eleven.

Now, I have a bit more experience under my belt.

After completing writing and communication majors at college and working as a marketing assistant, my storytelling skills allow me to create an intriguing and immersive experience on websites and applications. My experience as an office manager taught me how to communicate well with others on my team and keep a high level of attention to detail.

The Happy Cat has (sadly) long since been purged from the face of the Earth, but my love for website design remains.

Now, I create unique interfaces that fill people with as much joy as my preteen blog did for me, and I solve problems that help people in their daily lives – specifically, feelings of loneliness increased by the presence of technology.

Whether it’s using technology to make people’s lives more fulfilling outside of the online world, connecting within the app, or something else, the idea of community and caring for one another is very important to me.

And where the world now relies heavily on technology, it’s important for people to feel seen within that. My ability to empathize with users and stakeholders allows me to understand pain points on a deeper level, and then design solutions that truly help people.
