I’m Emily Houser, a UX Designer living in Kansas City with my wife, two cats, and our gigantic dog, Moose. I’m passionate about learning new things from my favorite science podcasts, getting outside, and searching for the best way to craft the perfect cup of coffee. When I’m not working, you can find me painting, enjoying a local brewery, or enthusiastically praising my dog’s “big stretch” multiple times a day.
A little backstory: before I became a designer, I was a teacher who drove for Uber to make ends meet. My life changed when Uber began a program that offers drivers 100% tuition coverage for Arizona State University online. I went back to school and got a second Bachelor's degree in Graphic Information Technology, and Uber made a commercial about my journey. In May, 2021, I graduated from ASU and formally entered the design field, where I continue to learn and grow as a UX Designer.
