Kelly Shea – Product Designer

As a Product Designer with over ~20 years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work on some pretty cool projects in some pretty fun companies including The Onion, Priceline, ClassPass, and Precision Nutrition. I have also had the privilege of teaching at Pratt Institute which allowed me to share skills and learn from some exceptionally talented designers – both students and colleagues. I really enjoy making things. Nice things that are easy to use and make people happy. My process will vary based on the individual project, but generally, it goes something like this: Using insights from quantitative & qualitative user research, I collaborate with Product and Technology to define problems and create UX outcomes. Depending on the project's needs, I'll create user journeys, flows, wireframes, simple prototypes, and ultimately pixel-perfect visual designs. My goal is to elevate the user experience and help the business achieve its goals. On the spectrum of all things UX, my strengths lie on the experience and visual design side of things. On a personal note, I’m from New York. I love bagels. I try to stay healthy by participating in various activities. I split my time between Brooklyn and the Catskills. I live with my partner, a retired greyhound, and an elderly cat
