I'm Rachel Donaldson, a designer based in Belfast. I enjoy making beautiful user interface designs that make people's lives better, even in small ways.
I’m currently an Interaction Design student at Ulster University. I have a background in Psychology and Graphic Design. I am interested in applying my Degree and Masters level study of Psychology to the discipline of design. Understanding people and how they behave is crucial in creating effective design. I am therefore excited about combining my interests in psychology and design to develop human-centred design outcomes.
I’m also partial to a regular motivational talk. I have a particular interest in what makes people tick, myself included. I love goal setting and I am working towards not only designing websites but also building them and adding moving elements. Keep a lookout for what's coming!
I’m currently seeking placement in the Belfast/ Dublin area.
At Rapid7 I worked as part of the platform team on data and user management systems. Here I had the opportunity to become part of a large multidisciplinary team and to learn from people with lots of experience in the area, while working on a range small and large projects.
