Hi there! I’m Graham Ivy

I’m a visual and UX designer from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I’ve nurtured a lifelong passion for creativity and design. Influenced by my mother’s love for quilting and crafting, I developed a deep appreciation for art and color from an early age. From creating music videos for friends’ bands to designing theater flyers and constantly doodling, creativity has always been central to my expression.

I graduated from the UMN UXUI design bootcamp to deepen my design skills and concurrently began working at Wellness in the Woods. Here, I’ve provided empathetic support and fostered mental health wellness, shaping my approach to design around compassion and human-centered solutions.

Today, I’m focused on pushing the boundaries of digital creativity and innovation. Whether I’m sketching wireframes, refining user interfaces, or exploring new design trends, I strive to create intuitive and impactful experiences that resonate globally.

Outside of design, you’ll find me exploring nature, dancing salsa, and indulging in the tastiest food—all of which inspire my creative journey.
