Hi again!

Hi again!

I'm still Anisa Wellington (they/them), a designer and researcher pursing Computational Media with a focus in People and Interaction Design at Georgia Tech.

I iterate on designs and seek out as much user input as possible to create accessible user-centered designs!

My Design Journey

Entering college, I would often say that I’m an art major at a tech school.

I started my journey studying architecture, and while I was good at it (see the award I got!), I just didn't have a passion for designing buildings. My time as an architecture major, while a bit hectic and sleep deprived, did give me three design philosophies that influence my design work today!

Design Philosophies

If you've iterated once or twice, go iterate a whole lot more

Within my design work you’ll find many iterations, sometimes with very minute differences between them as I try to explore the many directions a design could go. While seemingly excessive, I find that by doing so I get a better understanding of why I'm making the choices I make which brings me to my second philosophy!

Design choices are only as strong as your ability to defend them

With any of my design choices, you'll find (or be able to find through a quick chat with me) a rationale behind my final decisions. I'm still always willing to listen to others' feedback and improve my designs accordingly!

Design with accessibility in mind

I may not know everything there is to know about creating accessible designs, but I'm always trying to learn more and advocate so that more people can get the chance to interact with the designs in our world!

Outside of Designing…

You can still find me designing (among other things I do of course)! When I’m not designing for school, I’m designing marketing materials for various campus organizations I’m a part of, such as DramaTech Theatre, my school’s student-run theatre organization, or Bits of Good, a social good organization that connects students with local nonprofits.

And if I’m not designing, I’m singing along to music, doodling over my photos, napping among my stuffed animals, color coordinating my next outfit, or tending to my plants!
