My name is Chanae Evans, a user experience designer based in Seattle, Washington. I focus on impactful storytelling through the use of powerful user experiences. I've been professionally working in the field over the past 6 years and am currently a senior user experience designer at AT&T working on the bill and pay experience for the myAT&T app for iOS and Android.
I've always been captivated by how design can be a key driver in creating lasting impressions. I especially appreciate how it can guide a user through a story while being quietly in the background. I've found this profession to be the perfect cross between visual and technical skills which is why I am excited to be a part of this community where user experience is becoming more prevalent in our everyday lives.
Outside of being a UX designer, I am very active in the UX community.
