Hello, I'm Ethan Smith
Design Enthusiast | Recent Graduate with a Focus on Product Design and Development.

I graduated from the Purdue School of Engineering & Technology with a bachelors degree in Computer Graphics and Technology (CGT), specializing in Interactive Multimedia Design. During my time at IUPUI, I consistently demonstrated academic excellence, making the Dean's List in Fall 2020 and Fall 2023. I was also selected by CGT professors to join a small, elite group of students to promote the 2021-2022 College Football Playoffs. During this internship, I honed my ability to use user demographics to inform design, and create both static and motion graphics for promotional content.
I'm seeking a full-time position as a product designer and developer. My education and personal projects have equipped me with a deep understanding of design principles and proficiency in tools like Figma, Framer, and the Adobe Creative Suite as well as CAD softwares and various modeling techniques. I've developed comprehensive design systems, defined design tokens, and optimized components for efficiency and scalability. I have independently led an end-to-end UX/UI project, showcasing my versatility and adaptability. My latest project (Redesigning Car Infotainment) encompasses a range of UX and UI elements, including surveys, user testing, competitor analysis, and prototypes. I'm also skilled in motion design and animation, which I use to enhance interactive experiences and product presentations. I am passionate about creating intuitive and impactful user interfaces, constantly analyzing digital experiences in my daily life.
Additionally, I've been a head lifeguard at the Monroe County YMCA for over nine years, where I lead and train a dynamic team of lifeguards. I've used my design skills to help a local basketball community in Indianapolis by designing their 2022 and 2024 partnership proposals, which helped The City League gain more sponsorships and funding. I've also been involved in designing stickers, T-shirts, and branding identity for a local YMCA swim team. These roles have enhanced my understanding of teamwork, leadership, and empathy, enriching my skills in creating meaningful user experiences and intuitive products.
Overall, my diverse experiences have shaped me into a versatile and empathetic Product Designer, passionate about crafting seamless and impactful digital experiences.
