ABOUT ME
Designing with Intention
I’m a UX researcher, strategist, and designer focused on creating accessible, research-backed websites for small businesses.
In addition to caring about how a website looks, I make it a priority to understand how people are really using it, what information they need, and where they may be getting stuck.
My work combines user research, website strategy, accessibility, and design to create experiences that are thoughtful, intentional, and easier for people to use. Because I believe a website is not just an accessory to a business. In a lot of cases, it is the gatekeeper between someone finding you and deciding whether they trust you enough to take the next step.
When I’m not working on websites, you’ll usually find me practicing calisthenics, building LEGO, playing video games, or hanging out with my dog. :)
Bachelor of Science in Web Design and App Development
Minor in Computer Science • Summa Cum Laude
Research-Driven Strategy
Formal training in UX research, accessibility, information architecture, and front-end development, giving me the technical foundation to bridge the gap between user needs, business goals, and implementation.
Accessibility-First Design
I view accessibility as another layer of user experience problem-solving. Inclusive design leads to better experiences for everyone.
TESTIMONIALS
What It’s Like to Work Together
“Working with Belle is always such a joyful experience. The amount of attention she pays to detail truly always blows my mind! As someone who prides themselves on really focusing on the user experience and the small details that make up the bigger picture it always blows me away how much she is also focused on those things. She really just gets it! If you're looking for someone creative, who also cares about the operations and process side of things, Belle is your girl.”
Alysa, Former Coworker
Attentional Leadership Institute
“I hired Belle to design and develop my dermatology company website. I couldn’t be more impressed and satisfied with the outcome. I’ve already been told countless times that my site looks clean and professional, while being intuitive and easy to navigate. Belle took proper initiative in presenting solutions to each design question along the way. The overall process was seamless surpassing all of my expectations. I now have a professional website I’ll feel proud to present to patients over the coming years. I high recommend her services and plan to hire for any related jobs in the future.”
Jesse, Ongoing Client
Founder, Utah Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates
“Before we started, I knew I wanted my brand to feel different, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what that should look like. I had lots of ideas and needed someone who could take everything floating around in my head and turn it into a website that actually felt like me.
The biggest thing that stood out was how much research and intention Belle put into everything. She didn’t just ask what colors I liked or throw together a cute brand. She took the time to understand my business, research my demographic, target audience, and customers, and figure out what they actually needed. Every recommendation had a reason behind it.
Belle also explained the strategy in a way that made sense to me and listened closely whenever I had feedback.
Working with Belle gave me so much more confidence in my business and made showing up online feel much easier. I love that I can now track my online presence and see where customers are finding me. I’m incredibly proud of what we created together, and I recommend Belle every chance I get.”
