Howdy, I'm Chelsea Hunt!

Strategic Design. Data-Driven Insights. Human-Centered Results.

I am a Senior UX Designer who bridges the gap between complex user research and high-fidelity execution. I specialize in turning chaotic backlogs into strategic wins by prioritizing evidence over opinions—ensuring that while the "buttons are pretty," they are also solving the right problems.

My Impact

Over the last 6+ years, I have focused on architecting scalable design systems and research processes that drive retention and efficiency:

• Sustained Growth: Maintained a 99% client retention rate at EAB/Starfish, supporting thousands of users through intuitive, research-backed workflows.

• Operational Efficiency: Introduced Lean UX methodologies that reduced design handoff confusion by 15% and fostered cross-functional alignment.

• Inclusive Excellence: Established company-wide accessibility standards, resolving 30+ VPAT compliance issuesand ensuring universal usability.

• Strategic De-risking: I emphasize front-end iteration and rapid prototyping to eliminate costly post-launch revisions.

What Drives Me

I thrive in sectors where UX has a tangible impact on quality of life, specifically EdTech, HealthTech, and Community Development. Currently, I am integrating AI-driven design tools into my workflow to enhance research synthesis and collaborative speed.

Beyond the Screen

When I’m not auditing user flows, I’m likely practicing yoga, studying regenerative farming, or experimenting with plant-based recipes. I believe a balanced perspective outside of tech makes for a more empathetic designer within it.
