who's joelle?

Hi! I'm from Atlanta, GA and studied Cognitive Science and HCI at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh (through brutal winters).


I've always been drawn to the space where psychology, technology, and people overlap. I care about how designs work beyond the screen, how they can be accessible, thoughtful, and made with real people in mind.


Outside of work, I'm usually taking candid pics with my digital camera, finding new music on Spotify, cooking (kimchi jjigae is my specialty), or deep in a Letterboxd rabbit hole. Movies, music, and photography are how I stay creative — and honestly, they make me a better designer.
