BS in User Experience Design

Hometown: Naperville, Illinois

Hi! My name is Maddy, and I'm a Junior majoring in UX and minoring in Marketing. My journey to UX was not linear, as I started off as Business Undecided for almost 2 years and took all of my open electives trying to find a major. Not knowing my major forced me outside of my introverted shell to discover opportunities such as interviewing alumni and professors, workshops, networking events, and academic advising resources. My struggle is what makes helping undecided students like me my goal, as being unsure should feel empowering rather than demoralizing. (Besides my love of our career center) I love doing architectural photography, listening to news podcasts, and hating the UI of Google's calendar. If you're wondering about clubs, academic resources, professional development opportunities at DePaul, feeling unsure about your major, or have general questions, let me know!
