About Melissa Gallagher

Hi, I\'m Melissa! I\'m a passionate product designer with over a decade in the design industry, creating digital solutions that prioritize user experience without compromising business objectives.Currently, I\'m a Senior Product Designer at Headway Product Studio. Here, I\'m responsible for designing intuitive user interfaces and design systems for our clients. I do this through user research, wireframing, building interactive prototypes in Figma, and conducting user experience audits.In my free time, I love mentoring young designers, reading, learning to code creatively, and trying to keep my houseplants alive (which is harder than it sounds). I live in Connecticut, USA with my husband, son, and two Corgis.
