UX and Front-end Web Designer
Shelley Williams
Shelley Williams is a UX and front-end web designer with a primary focus on making digital spaces more practical, equitable, and easy to navigate.
With a decade of experience in graphic design, website development, and UX strategy, she works with organizations in the public sector to improve their online presence by advocating for accessible, user-centred experiences. Shelley guides teams through the design process, ensuring that both client needs and user needs are reflected in the final product. Leveraging user research and human-centred design principles, she strengthens information architecture and content design with the goal of creating experiences that are clear, intuitive, and genuinely useful.
When she’s not designing, she’s listening to an unreasonable number of podcasts, catching movies at second-run theatres, or tending to her Stardew Valley farm.
