Hello! My name is Amaya Powell and I am a third-year honors Psychology major, with a minor in Spanish. I’ve been involved with the NMI for two and a half years now, getting the chance to go on fun site visits and create innovative projects. The experiences that I have gained in my time at the NMI immensely helpful in broadening and strengthening my skills as an aspiring UX designer.

I am excited to help students with all things design, like working in Figma, Photoshop, WordPress, or just being an extra set of eyes on something cool you’re working on! I also have foundational programming knowledge and can help with coding in HTML/CSS and JavaScript.

I’m truly looking forward to working with students to find new solutions and think outside the box. I am currently a User Experience Intern at a remote startup and a research assistant for two HCI labs on campus. In my free time, I love to watch movies and tv (yes, I do unfortunately have a letterboxd account), and I love to journal and sketch. Happy creating!
