Glad you're here!
I'm Chelsea - I work remote in Austin, TX with my bunny, Bailey.

I currently work as a Senior Product Designer at Shopify. I’m the lead designer for the Growth Intelligence team within the Growth organization. Our efforts are focused on building data-powered products to help grow Shopify.

I thrive in a collaborative design environment and love the early stages of the design process where no idea is too big or too small. I’ve spent the last year and a half learning how to translate complex data into consumable insights and thoroughly enjoy the challenges that come with data visualization.

A list of (non-UX) things I love
I keep my 'love list' on hand at all times. I mean, who doesn't want to see all their favorite things in place?
