Hello! I’m Melissa Caven, a Senior UX Designer with 14+ years of experience—currently based in Chicago, IL.
I specialize in crafting intuitive, user-centered designs that solve complex problems and enhance user experiences. My approach is grounded in strategic thinking, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the human perspective. I believe exceptional design seamlessly blends a client’s unique brand with user needs, and that’s the focus I bring to every project.

My approach is grounded in strategic thinking, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the human perspective. I believe exceptional design seamlessly blends a client’s unique brand with user needs, and that’s the focus I bring to every project.
With a diverse portfolio spanning over 100 clients nationwide, I’ve honed my ability to merge timeless design principles with modern trends. I excel in dynamic environments, partnering with cross-functional teams while taking full ownership of projects to deliver impactful, results-driven solutions.
As a lead designer, I work closely with clients from discovery through delivery, providing strategic direction and guiding design teams to ensure projects are executed with precision and purpose. I’m also dedicated to mentoring junior designers and fostering a culture of creativity, growth, and innovation.
When I’m not refining user experiences, I’m often traveling and exploring new cultures—gaining fresh perspectives that inspire and inform my design approach.
