What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow my UX skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I'm Evan Drake, a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Emerging Technology and Business Design from Miami University. My passion lies in user-centered design, and I'm eager to apply my UX research and design skills to create meaningful digital experiences. Currently, I am interning at Miami University, where I focus on enhancing user experiences through innovative design solutions.

During my internship, I have successfully run quality control for IT support tickets, ensuring a smooth transition to an AI-only support system. Additionally, I have experience in designing and deploying front-end features for WordPress clients, integrating plugins like WooCommerce, and providing comprehensive web and graphic design services. My freelance projects further showcase my ability to meet diverse client needs, from website design to photography services.
