Hi! My name is Noah, and I'm a UX Designer working in Chicago.
Outside of work, my main creative hobby is macrophotography – click that link to see some of my favorite shots. It's cooler than it sounds!
The Vignelli Canon, Steve Jobs' philosophy on technology as a Bicycle of the Mind, Donella Meadows' Leverage Points and John Siracusa's incredible Hypercritical are (among many other things) what brought me to UX design as a career.
A bit about my work
My LinkedIn outlines my professional experience effectively if you'd like, but to put things a bit more personally:
I finished my BA in Interaction Design at Columbia Chicago in 2019. Since then, I've interned and worked as a UX Designer and Researcher at some awesome companies like Fuzzy Math (💚), Groupon, and Uptake.
For the past 5 years, I worked as a Conversation Designer and at Interactions, designing best-in-class conversational experiences for my client's customers. However, I love working on tools for professionals - so by the end of my time there, I had almost entirely transitioned into working on the UX of Interactions' software suite of new and existing products, as well as proprietary internal tools. I helped architect the way our tools worked together, designed new features, and smoothed out usability issues for designers and developers within the company.
As of December 2024, I've chosen to start a new chapter of my career at IntelePeer continuing to work on innovative tools and products.

Feel free to get in touch! I'm always happy to talk, whether that's about a work opportunity, a project I've done, or even if you're just wondering how one of my photos was taken.
