Hi, My name is Gabrielle.
My expertise lies in my passions --- UX Design, Visual Design & Front-End Development.
FOLLOW MY UX JOURNEY CONTACT ME ScrollI fell in love with all things web when I was introduced to “the internet". As I was teaching myself HTML, I dreamt of becoming a Disney Imagineer and designing stellar sites for the most magical place on earth, Disney World.
During college, I started my first internship at Sherwin-Williams Corporate Headquarters as a Web Analyst Co-op.
My first Information Architecture project was the redesign of the Employee Benefits section of the Chameleon intranet site. I learned CSS on the job through the redesign and through the development of secure Sher-Link pages.
Soon after my co-op came to an end, I started an internship at Brulant, an interactive marketing agency, as a Search Engine Optiziation Analyst Intern. There is where I wrote SEO copy for Marriott and Nationwide Insurance.
MoreAfter a recruiter asked me if I knew how to use a camera and PowerPoint, my career as a Technical Writer began as a fluke at Fluke Biomedical. Pursuing the career path seemed logical I was eventually recruited by Philips Healthcare and Nelson Stud Welding.
I gained valuable UX skills as a Technical Writer - empathy for the users of my products, knowing the right questions to ask, learning to simplify and create visuals for complex concepts.
MoreI worked full-time throughout my college years as I pursued my Bachelors of Arts in Communications at Cleveland State University (2009) and my Masters of Science, IAKM, User Experience Design, at Kent State University (2014).
MoreI moved from Ohio to Northern Virginia after getting my first role as a UX/UI Designer at CACI International.
I have contributed to over 17+ classified projects for our clientele - covering all aspects of design and user experience design - accessibility, interaction & visual design or front-end development.
I believe its time for me to move on. It's time for me to work on a mission contributing towards the greater good.
I want to reach more users than ever before.
I worked alongside Gabrielle for three years while at CACI and she never failed to impress me.
Gabrielle was an amazing person to work with, fun, hard working, always learning, and most importantly: extremely talented. She always had the ability to complete a project under even the toughest circumstances, always delivering above-and-beyond; impressing the customer consistently.
With a natural talent for design, user experience (UX), user interface (UI) design and development, she is always challenging the "why" from the user's perspective and offers creative solutions that not only make the interface easier and less cumbersome, but look and feel just as good. Her ability to work within and learn various codebases/frameworks--sometimes concurrently--quite seamlessly is simply the icing on the cake.
I couldn't recommend Gabrielle more highly. Her raw talent coupled with her ability--and eagerness--to learn and grow doesn't come along everyday.
I hired Gabrielle as a UX/UI Designer at CACI and managed her for several years. I was impressed by her experience and her experience proved to be invaluable. She comes highly recommended.
Her enthusiasm, flexibility and natural talent made her a solid asset to our team. It didn’t take long for her to ramp up. Gabrielle is a fast learner - she was quick to adapt to our design process and to become quite proficient in JavaScript.
Gabrielle not only has the chops to design and develop stunning sites, but she has the skills and expertise to craft compelling user experiences. Her background and passion for UX shined through in everything she did. .
I had the opportunity to work with Gabrielle on multiple web projects.
Gabrielle was excellent in UI and web page design and development. Her coding was skillful, her designs were unique and innovative, so clients were always happy.
She was always thoughtful and considerate, an excellent team player who can also work independently and do a fantastic job.
She is very highly recommended.
