Hi, I’m Summer Z.
I’m a designer and visual storyteller who is passionate about bridging the gap between user and tool through intuitive and positive design. My work emphasizes accessibility, transparency, and originality.
I know what it’s like to be an edge case user: As a leftie, I spent years of my childhood frustrated with with basic tools before I realized they weren’t poorly designed - they just weren’t designed for me. This inspired an early awareness about why our world is designed the way that it is, and who it’s designed for.
Today, as a student studying product design and visual communication, I am exploring original and creative ways to make the world a more comfortable place for everyone. So if you’re like me and you’re passionate about using design to change the world, let’s connect!
