I care deeply about inclusive design and spent my time at SmartRent championing accessibility, until a recent layoff gave me space to explore more of my creative side (and complete this portfolio!). These days, you’ll find me building side projects, notion templates, designing stickers, or disappearing into a great film or crime show. I’m always chasing the next thing to make or figure out.

Philosophy gave me the big questions, and minoring in both IT & Digital Media gave me the tools to answer them creatively. Yes, Philosophy, I know. Four years, every semester on the Dean’s List, not that I counted (I did).

“Mollie approaches every project with critical thinking and intention. While many designers are comfortable jumping in once requirements are defined, Mollie thrives in
the early, ambiguous stages. She asks the right questions, challenges assumptions, and thinks deeply about the “why” before jumping into the “how”.”

"In addition to her accessibility work, Mollie is an exceptional UX designer. She approaches every project with empathy and a deep curiosity about user behavior. Her designs are informed by direct client engagement, thoughtful research, and a commitment to improving usability."
