Hello! I'm Ann Pickens
I design aesthetically delightful experiences and thoughtful marketing campaigns that make the details of technology accessible, easy for people to understand and use. With a collaborative, user-centered approach and visual design principles, I craft great looking experiences that engage people. I thrive on learning new things then using it to inspire and inform the design process. Creative innovation and beautiful design is my passion.
Currently, working for the City of Austin at Austin Energy. I work with cross functional customer energy solutions teams as a visual/UX designer. We are working to reach 100% renewable energy for the city by 2035. Before that, I contracted as a Senior Art Director at Wunderman Austin and Dell Technology on the product launch team. I helped transform the dell.com large enterprise Solutions & Services site into a responsive platform with visual design systems informed by IT customer data and insight.
I studied Fine Art/Graphic Design at California State University, Fullerton and UX design at General Assembly, Austin.
