I’m Codey — Human Centered Product Designer & Strategist

Work

About

I transitioned into product design after a winding journey through graphic design, landscape architecture, and web design. Now, after 3 years in this world, i've designed products to equip leaders, help students reach their goals, give people the opportunity to give back to their communities, and bring entrepreneurs ideas to life.

I also like to spend time mentoring new product designers. I found an amazing, supportive community in my transition to product design. I want to make sure new designers find that as well.
