MY STORY
A Design Journey
My name is Malik Smith and I’m very passionate about improving people’s lives through carefully crafted digital experiences and teamwork. It is my belief great design starts with true empathy for the people you work with and the needs and constraints of the people we tailor our solutions for.
I started my design journey at the University of Pennsylvania while pursuing a degree in Visual Studies with a concentration in Art, Practice and Technology and minor in consumer psychology, but I had been designing interfaces with code since I was in middle school.
To put it simply, I love learning. Learning more about my craft, more about companies, more about people. To me, everything I’ve done up until now has been about fostering deeper and lasting moments of empathy – sometimes through my art outside of work.
My top goal with any project or client is to understand the main driving force behind the product and clarify an approach to achieving something the whole team can get behind. It is my passion for design and people that gets me going in the morning and helps me carry a project’s momentum from start to finish, hopefully creating many moments of impact and delight throughout.
As a human, I can be frequently spotted enjoying new foods, creating lush music productions and visiting new places (7 countries in counting, 20+ states).
