Intro

Want to launch a website but have no idea where to start? Or looking to revamp an existing website?

I can help! I’m a designer with a passion for creating digital experiences. With a degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Houston, I have knowledge in:

  • Business strategy
  • Search engine optimization
  • User interface design and experience
  • Technical content writing 
  • And everything else in between!

My work takes a user-centered approach through storytelling, focusing on an individual’s needs, and the value they want to showcase. I’ve worked on projects for individuals from California, New Jersey, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, and here in Texas. Designing meaningful projects drive my creation process and I’m always open to new ideas and technologies.

Intro

Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a designer with a passion for creating digital experiences that connect and inspire. With a background in Information Systems and Business, I bring a blend of strategy, SEO magic, user-centered UI design, and technical content wizardry to every project. I’m all about storytelling that highlights what makes each person or brand unique.

I’ve worked with individuals from California to New York, and my work has been featured on Medium.com, Interlude, and Voyage Houston. Outside of design, I’m a foodie at heart, always on the hunt for new flavors. When I’m not trying new bites, you’ll find me climbing indoors, keeping my Duolingo streak alive, or hiking beyond Houston’s city lights. Here’s to creating meaningful projects that make us smile—always open to new ideas, technologies, and recipes!

Meet Taylor Alexander

Taylor Alexander is the Founder and President of T.E.A.M. She was born and raised in Michigan. She earned a B.S. in Mathematics in 2019 from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she was a Meyerhoff Scholar and Division I Volleyball player. She now holds her PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Houston.

While Alexander has gained substantial research experience examining ethnic and gender disparities in STEM; she aims to use her career to create and improve culturally competent programs that address inequalities present in athletics and STEM. With the emotional and physical hardships that come with being an athlete, Alexander wanted to create a program that better assisted and supported student athletes’ current and transitional needs. She hopes T.E.A.M. will give the power back to the athletes by ultimately providing them with the support system they need.

Taylor’s Athletic Transition Story

“My parents would always tell me they knew I was going to be an athlete, because by the age of two I had already outgrown my jungle gym. I was first a gymnast, but a couple years and one volleyball camp later, I found myself on my elementary school’s varsity volleyball team.

Participating in athletics was one of the best experiences of my life. The unconditional support system, unforgettable travel experiences, and skills I accumulated are irreplaceable. However, I didn’t recognize how much of my identity was consumed by athletics, until I graduated college, and realized I didn’t even know what I enjoyed doing for fun.

I struggled tremendously with my mental health, and worked out profusely as an escape. I eventually learned how to actively build the life I envisioned through exploring my other talents like dance, and fashion. I learned how to properly balance my food intake, so I no longer felt like I had to workout every day. It took several years of patience, dedication, and sacrifice but I appreciate the new parts of my identity and look forward to helping other student-athletes take ownership of theirs as well.”
