Hello, I’m Eva

I love design and art. Design means the world to me. Whether I'm using a subway map in NYC, or find myself browsing within an app for news or information, I always look at information through the eyes of a designer, bringing the best possible experience to the user. 

In addition to design, art has been a passion of mine forever. Going to art school has taught me the importance of nurturing a creative studio environment to make every person on the team can fulfill their professional potential.

After an original start at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, Germany, and many years as an art creative director in the advertising industry in NYC, I graduated from UX Bootcamp at General Assembly in 2018. I completed the Google UX Design Certificate Program in 2023.

By bringing human-centered design to people who care about a community filled with learning and creativity, I find that I can create a platform that encourages everyone to engage in creative thinking and doing.

I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at evaschicker2012@gmail.com.
