About Me

Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m a UI/UX designer and developer based in Dallas, Texas. I am graduating from Southern Methodist University in May 2026 with a dual degree in Computer Science and Creative Computing, and a Minor in Data Science. I have always been passionate about art and creativity, and the opportunities at SMU have helped me enhance my skills and solve technical problems using my artistic mindset.

Throughout my time at SMU, I have been working as a UI/UX designer and front-end developer to redesign the website of Democracy Viewer, a project that develops data-sharing and analytics tools for research in the humanities.  In my free time, I enjoy drawing, painting, and creating digital art using various applications, as well as teaching fitness classes. I instruct Lagree Fitness classes, a high-intensity, low-impact workout that combines Pilates and resistance-training principles. Being a fitness instructor has been an incredible opportunity to use my imagination to construct routines and playlists, form amazing connections, and help people accomplish their goals.

Through my experience developing front-end interfaces, designing collaborative UX systems, and creating generative art in tools like TouchDesigner, I’ve learned how design and technology can work together to shape meaningful experiences. I enjoy blending art and code to make technology feel more intuitive, inspiring, and beautifully designed.
