About Sam Spillman
I’m a UX/UI Designer with a foundation in customer service, visual design, and group fitness coaching — experiences that deeply shaped my empathy, adaptability, and people-first approach to problem-solving.After completing the UX Academy at Designlab, I’ve gained hands-on experience across the full design process, including user research, synthesis, wireframing, high-fidelity UI design, prototyping, and usability testing. Through real-world projects, I’ve designed thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences grounded in research and iterative feedback.Prior to formally transitioning into UX, I applied design thinking in client-facing environments — from designing and building the website for 3 Palms Restaurant to creating a magazine spread published in Destination Magazine Saint Thomas (2023). These experiences strengthened my visual storytelling skills and ability to communicate ideas clearly through design.In parallel, my work as a Solidcore Coach sharpened my leadership, communication, and real-time feedback skills. Leading high-energy classes for diverse groups reinforced my ability to read people, adapt quickly, and create inclusive, engaging experiences — skills that directly translate to designing intuitive digital products.I’m actively seeking UX/UI design internships or entry-level roles where I can contribute thoughtful, user-centered solutions, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and continue growing as a designer.Let’s connect and build meaningful, intuitive experiences.
