Kourtney Williams

After getting recruited to play college softball, Kourtney randomly enrolled in a graphic design class to help round out her schedule. It turns out that choice would change the trajectory of her life more than any game-winning fly ball she ever could have hit.

When Kourtney entered the University of North Texas, her primary focus was softball. Little did she know UNT was a top art and design school. With each new design class, she fell more and more in love with the process of solving creative challenges. Before long, she earned a degree in communication design.

Upon graduation, Kourtney interned remotely for a couple of tech startups. Being involved in the wireframe, prototype, and design process gave her valuable insight into how professional products are created from start to finish. Her classroom-based understanding of user flows quickly transitioned into real-world experience.

As a UI/UX designer at MichiganLabs, Kourtney loves the welcoming environment and opportunity to learn something new every day. During her interview process, she could tell she was at a place that values culture and communication–things that are very important to her, both in and outside of work.
