Get to Know Me

Hey there! I’m Chris Omen—a curious soul with a knack for crafting delightful, human-centered experiences. My design journey started when I was the kid sketching imaginary worlds on napkins, trying to figure out how to make the perfect treehouse blueprint (spoiler: it was way over-engineered😃).

Where it All Started…

Once upon a time, I was draping fabrics, sketching silhouettes, and designing wardrobes. As a fashion designer, I learned that every detail matters—from the perfect stitch to the choice of color that tells a story. Today, I channel that same passion for precision into creating seamless user experiences that feel as natural as a perfectly tailored outfit.

Fashion Taught Me More Than Style

My fashion background didn’t just refine my taste (though you’ll rarely catch me in anything less than well-coordinated attire). It also taught me to think critically, solve creatively, and value perfection. Whether I’m designing a digital flow or analyzing research data, I treat every task with the same care as designing a couture piece.

UX and HCI—With Heart ❤️

My journey into UX and HCI has been nothing short of inspiring. From conducting research to uncovering insights through thematic analysis, I thrive on turning raw data into meaningful design solutions.

My latest HCI work? Exploring how wearable technologies can support caregivers of children battling cancer.

I like to think of myself as a digital explorer. Every project is a new adventure—mapping out user pain points, discovering hidden insights, and building pathways that connect people with possibilities. Whether it’s a sleek interface, an immersive prototype, or just making buttons less scary to click, I’m all about blending form with function to create experiences that stick.

My Approach

For me, design isn’t just about making things pretty (although, who doesn’t love a touch of aesthetic magic?). It’s about empathy, strategy, and a dash of playfulness. I dive deep into the “why” behind every interaction, ensuring my work isn’t just usable, but meaningful.

Whether I’m designing intuitive apps, reimagining web experiences, or doodling for fun, my goal is simple: to make life easier, one pixel at a time.

Fun Facts About Me:

  • I can spend hours analyzing a pattern, whether it’s on fabric or in user data.

  • I believe great design is like a great outfit—it should look good, feel good, and serve a purpose.

  • My dream project? Designing tech that feels as intuitive as your favorite pair of shoes.

  • I am fast in learning new things, especially tools, to get the work done.

Let’s Create Something Remarkable

Whether it’s fashioning a groundbreaking user experience or diving deep into complex research challenges, I’m all about blending creativity with purpose. If you’re looking for someone who balances style, substance, and a splash of perfectionism, let’s connect!
