About Me
Hi there!
01
My name is Shea Huening and I’m a product designer at Fjord in Washington, DC.
First let me explain why my portfolio lacks case studies:
At my current employer I strictly work on projects for government agencies, and each of these projects require me to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This greatly limits my ability to freely share information here.
If you want to know more about my process or the outcomes regarding any of my case studies, feel free to reachout.
My Tenets
02
Knowledge is Power
I believe there is no better user of a person's time than devoting it to learning. In addition to learning every design software I have come across, I also taught myself Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (just for the challenge/fun of it).
Stay Healthy
Numerous studies show the relationship between fitness and brain health/cognition – if your body isn't healthy, your brain isn't healthy.
No Dichotomous Thinking
Dichotomous thinking is a thinking style that categorizes things into two polar opposites, such as, “all or nothing” and “right or wrong”. Every human is complex and nuanced; design solutions should always consider this.
Enjoy Life
Life is incredibly too short and you only have one shot at it. So, try to make a positive impact on humanity but stay true to yourself and enjoy the process.
My Interests
03
Science
If there's one thing I enjoy more than researching latest design trends and best practices, it is reading up on science news and improving my science literacy and critical thinking skills.
PC Gaming & Nerd Stuff
Everyone needs at least one calming, semi-unproductive hobby. For me, this includes gaming and reading dark/gritty comics. Hopefully I'll start playing D&D again one day as well.
Exercise
Health and fitness were instilled in me at a young age and even though I'm no longer playing sports, I still try to train like I am!
House & Techno Music
