Hey, I’m Blake
I’m a product designer from Cleveland, Ohio.
A lot of people ask why or how I got into UX.
I’ve always been drawn to art and anything creative, so I started college planning to be an architect. I liked the feeling of creating. Turns out, architecture involves a lot more calculus and a lot fewer Legos. Then, I shifted to software development because I liked solving problems.
That didn’t last long either. My hatred of math turned into a hatred of Java syntax and the rigid structure that came with it. Then I had an assignment to build a small interactive game, and that brought back the feeling I’d been chasing. I really liked creating something visual and functional that people could actually use.

That led me into front-end development, where I was finally able to create and solve problems at the same time. While learning front end, I came across the term UX design for the first time and I haven’t looked back since.

What is my design philosophy?
I believe great design should be honest, human, and deeply respectful of people’s time. I focus on purposeful simplicity, making complex tools feel effortless, intuitive, and approachable.
In a world rushing toward automation, design needs to feel more human. As AI advances, it’s thoughtful, creative, and personable design that brings meaning to the products we use every day.

I work best in the gray where scattered thinking and broken tools need clarity, structure, and real outcomes.
