About Me

I am a Michigan native who grew up with four older brothers who taught me the importance of fighting for what you want and resilience in pursuing your goals. These traits helped me graduate with a BFA in visual communication from the University of Michigan. As a designer with a background in e-commerce, brand identity development and voice, marketing, and end-user experience. As a driven person, I try to do the best I can with any task set before me, striving for excellence and going above the expected. As a kid, I learned that if I wanted something done for myself, I should do it myself. This self-starting attitude has benefitted me in my career. I am a naturally happy person that offers enthusiasm and excitement to teamwork and interpersonal relationship building. I enjoy working with others as a team and solely on projects. Being part of a productive team to me is essential, and I have developed a passion for concise, clear communication, unique problem solving, and a strong work ethic. Over the years, I have developed a passion for creating human-centered design experiences that are visually creative solutions for day-to-day problems.

Resume

Elizabeth Varney

I am passionate about functional design that is intuitive for the end user and alleviates everyday pain points.

If I had to describe myself in a few short terms, they would be determination, grit, and excellency. I have an excellent work ethic and drive to put forth my best efforts in everything I do. I flourish when presented with design challenges that need creative, out-of-the-box solutions for everyday use. My marketing and email design background have given me practice in empathizing with users and seeing pain points from their perspective, not just my own. Experience in brand voice and identity development has taught me how to create designs that look and feel on brand while solving complicated user experience issues.
