About Me

I’m Ganessa Pickens — a UX designer blending empathy, storytelling, and strategic insight to craft digital experiences that work beautifully for users and businesses.

With nearly a decade in branding, sales, and marketing, I’ve spent years understanding what drives people to click, care, and convert. That background now fuels my approach to UX: always people-first, business-aware, and insight-driven. Whether I’m prototyping flows, running usability tests, or mapping out an MVP, I bring clarity, curiosity, and care to every step.

  • Empathy drives impact. Real understanding leads to better design.

  • Design is strategy. Every decision should support a larger goal.

  • Good work is iterative. I test, learn, and evolve — always.

  • People > pixels. I value collaboration, clarity, and connection.
