I’m Melissa Kruger and I’m a UX designer, graphic designer, mathematician, rock climber, and cat lover. I began my higher education with finishing my BS in Mathematics and decided to continue my education by completing my BFA in Graphic Design at Southern Utah University. Although I have a background in Math, I now solve problems through design. After graduation, I completed a five month internship as a UX designer at Instructure, Inc. Since then, I’ve worked at Clearlink as a brand graphic designer, Instructure (again) and Weave, both as UX designers.
I’ve worked on a Data & Analytics team where I continued to solve problems for users through data visualization and user experience design, a VoIP team where I learned the complex ins and outs of phone systems, and been the lead designer of a design system.
I’m currently on the hunt for a job opportunity where I can continue work for improving user experience and accessibility across products. I would love to find an opportunity to work with a product I use and have a strong passion towards. I hope the next company I land at will have a welcoming and inclusive culture, a collaborative and supportive team, and leadership that will help me grow both interpersonally and professionally.
I grew up in California but my heart lies in Utah with the mountains. I crave adventure and new places. I’m an avid gym rock climber, love camping at Grand Teton National Park, watch lots of TV and movies, and have just gotten back into reading this year.
If you have any opportunities or want to work with me, say hey!
