Lindsay Barry UX Designer

Designer Leader Problem-Solver

Hi there! I'm Lindsay, a UX Designer based in Chicago. I create thoughtful, intuitive designs that make everyday experiences easier and more engaging. With a background in education and entrepreneurship, I bring a unique understanding of how people think, learn, and behave.

I love breaking down complex problems, asking “why,” and designing human-centered solutions that feel natural and meaningful. I'm especially interested in how technology can connect more deeply with human behavior.

Let’s create something great together.

My Approach

My UX design philosophy is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and intentional research. Every project I take on is guided by a deep desire to understand users and create meaningful, intuitive experiences. Here's how I approach design:

I believe great design starts with great research. Thanks to the mentorship of experienced UX designers early in my career, I learned the importance of grounding every design decision in evidence. My process involves thorough, thoughtful exploration to ensure my solutions are truly aligned with user needs. I’m also comfortable revisiting the research at any point in the process.

Research

I’m always asking “why.” My natural curiosity drives me to dig deeper and look beyond the obvious, uncovering the motivations and behaviors behind every interaction. This curiosity fuels my creativity and helps me design products that solve the right problems—leading to more thoughtful, user-centered experiences.

Curious

I approach every project with an open mind and a collaborative spirit. I believe the best ideas come from diverse teams with a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. I embrace those different viewpoints, knowing they make the final product stronger, more inclusive, and more meaningful for the people who use it.

Non-Shop Talk

When I am not fully immersed in my projects, you will find me outside either tinkering in my garden, going on bike rides and exploring forests, swimming in the lake, or soaking up the sun with a book. I am always eager to learn a new skill, take a class, or go on an adventure. You never know what you like or what you are good at until you try it!
