Overview

Who? Me! My name is Edena Alvarado, but my friends call me Edie. What? I am a UX research and design freelancer. I enjoy designing and have experience in formats such as VR, AR, and 3D products. I also love spatial design, physical computing, and creating IoT device ecosystems. Where? I am based in Chicago, IL but I am currently completing my senior year at SCAD in Savannah, GA. Why? I think all design needs context. With holistic research, all my work focuses on clarifying the 5W’s of the problem and utilizing them to create a human-centered solution. How? With a formative knowledge of UX techniques while continuing to learn and adapt in any setting. When? I began freelancing in 2018 through volunteer work for social activist organizations and I have branched into contracted UX work since then.
