Hi! I am a senior designer currently based in Denver, Colorado. I graduated in 2021 with my B.S. in Computational Media from Georgia Tech. This degree included coding and design courses that provided me with a well-rounded understanding of what goes into creating an experience from start to finish.

I think of UX as an investigation, and I enjoy learning all about the products and business decisions behind what I am designing for. Working for a bank means that I have to quickly make sense of complicated products and know how to ask the right questions. I love that UX design allows me to learn about a variety of topics and challenges me to find solutions that have direct impacts on real people.

In addition to my full-time UX role, I spent seven months assisting a member of the Truist Corporate Strategy team with research and writing for future trends that C-suite leaders need to keep an eye on. I have served as a mentor to teammates in the Leadership Development Program and assisted Truist in university recruiting. I enjoy getting a variety of professional experiences and meeting people in different roles!

In my free time, I love to play board games, read, hike, ski, play piano, and explore Colorado with my friends.

If you want to get in touch with me, you can send me an email at haydensmith1316@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting!
