Carlissa Arrow



I’ve been called a lot of things. “Creative Technologist” and “Art Engineer”.  All I know is that I love Design. It scratches my artistic itch for creation and utilizes the strategic problem-solving skills I gained as an engineer. 

Currently, I am an early-career designer with experience in UX Research and Interaction Design. I enjoy creating meaningful, and intuitive interactive experiences that add delight and joy to the way that people interact with the world.
