About Me

Hey there!

I’m Emma Sharpe

I’m a Web Development/Design student looking for work in UX/UI. As an avid rock climber, I’m passionate about working in the outdoor industry and hope to design user experiences for websites and apps within that field.

My Career So Far

I started off my professional career as an elementary school teacher. Once the pandemic pushed me to teach fully remote, I realized my love for designing lessons that would keep my students engaged online. This pushed me to seek out a career within UX/UI that allows me to utilize my curiosity, empathy, and problem solving skills to create the best user experience.

Since starting my Master’s program at the University of Denver I gained valuable experience designing web applications from the ground up. I have coded websites on the back-end and have also participated in designing the front-end and conducting user research.
