People I've Worked With
Debbie Lefkowitz
Project Manager at Stellar Elements
(formerly projekt202)
"Amelia is an outstanding Experience Designer. She is able to translate engineering speak and unclear requirements into simple and elegant user experiences. She is wicked fast with Figma, which she combines with great attention to detail.
Amelia is a team-player who is always willing to help and support other designers and team members. She is always cheerful and happy, no matter how stressful the work or tight the deadlines.
Amelia also has great customer facing skills. She’s a solid presenter and a great listener. She is able to defend her design decisions while also taking in client and stakeholder feedback.
Amelia works well with Product Managers, Developers and Program Managers. I cannot recommend Amelia highly enough. She’s a joy to work with and would be a great addition to any team."
Annalicia Anaya
Community Lead at Springboard
"It has been an incredible experience getting to work with Amelia as one of our inaugural Peer Mentors in our Community Advocates Program.
Amelia has consistently gone the extra mile to ensure that her peers are well supported in their design journey. She is uniquely skilled at making others feel safe and comfortable to express themselves authentically and ask for help when needed.
She regularly hosts a support and accountability group for other design students to get help and stay on track to meet their goals. Her passion for design is very encouraging to others and she is a huge role model in our community! As one of our first volunteers, she has helped to shape our program and has gone above and beyond to share resources to make it easier for future volunteers to give back as well!
Any team would be very lucky to have Amelia and I know with full confidence that she will find immense success in her career!"

Currently a UX Designer
I currently work as an experience designer for the Stellar Elements design agency. My main client is a major telecom company and I help create internal e-commerce tools used by salespeople. I get to work with amazing people and I’ve expanded my knowledge of telephone, wifi and e-commerce design needs. I also love connecting with my local design community by attending in-person events such as Figma’s Config Conference and San Francisco Design Week.
Design Past
My initial design education started with an interior architecture degree. I learned how to design intentionally. I gained experience creating projects that addressed all the needs and goals for both businesses and users.
I worked at a residential architecture firm for a few years before starting a career change into UX design. As I was developing my UX design skills I defined goals for myself. I created a personal brand, worked on side projects, took on an internship and volunteered to mentor others who were also going through a career change. I grew as a designer and also met amazing people along the way that I still keep in touch and learn from today.

Outside of Design
Outside of my design work I enjoy traveling the world! I’m always preparing for my next big trip. I’m so inspired when I get to experience new places and see how other people live their daily lives. I also like reading books, drinking boba and eating fruit.

I love meeting new people and learning about their dreams, challenges and victories! Reach out if you:
