ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lizzy! I live in Atlanta, and most days you can probably find me somewhere along the BeltLine or sitting on my balcony. I love painting and video games, and I'm usually outside as much as I can.
Hi, I’m Lizzy OBrien! I live in Atlanta, and most days you can probably find me somewhere along the BeltLine or sitting on my balcony. I love painting and video games, and I'm usually outside as much as I can.
I’ve always found myself somewhere between tech and art. I took my first coding class in 8th grade, where we built simple websites with HTML and played around with JavaScript animations. I immediately fell in love with experimenting in code and joined a computer science program in high school, but something always felt missing.
Over time, I realized I wasn’t just interested in building applications. I wanted to make them easier to use and more intuitive. I became really drawn to how products feel and function, and how thoughtful design can make complex things make sense.
Now, with a degree in User Experience from SCAD, I’m excited to build things that are easy to use, but also feel thoughtful and well-designed.
