About Charmayne Knox
I used to scribble comic panels on napkins and write dialogue on the backs of receipts—usually while working under the roar of a roller coaster at a theme park job. Even then, I knew I wanted to create stories for a living. I wasn't sure where that dream would lead—I just knew I wanted to enjoy my work and be able to make a living in the process.
Since then, I've designed a mobile app, built a website, reworked branding, and iterated design systems based on real-time feedback from developers and managers. I've become the kind of designer who listens deeply, learns quickly, and leads with story.
These days, I notice the little details—color choices, micro-interactions, font hierarchy—and how they shape the narrative of a product. It turns out, "Storyteller" is a valid job title... especially when you tell stories with design.

Where I've Been
A quick look at some past and present experiences
Led UX research and design for a wellness-based social app from the ground up — the project that pushed me from visual design into full end-to-end product thinking.
Six years inside a complex financial workflow taught me how much friction lives in "invisible" internal tools — and became the basis for my Financial Database case study.
Wrote STEM-focused blog content for an edtech company, sharpening the same instinct for clarity and audience that now shapes how I write case studies and UX copy.
My Tech Stack
I build with intention. Framer for fast, interactive web design. Figma for clean interfaces. Each tool supports how I think, design.
A Little More About Me
A few of the things that keep me curious, creative, and grounded outside of client work.
Books I've Enjoyed
I'm partial to design classics, memoirs, and the occasional page-turner I can't put down. Reading keeps my perspective fresh between projects.
Lean UX
The Rise of Kyoshi
The Screenwriter's Bible
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Video Games I Play
Whether it's a cozy sim or a fast-paced shooter, gaming is where I unwind — and where I quietly pick up on interaction patterns I love bringing into my own designs.
Batman: Arkham City
God of War
Fallout: New Vegas
Red Dead Redemption II
Other Ways I Spend My Time
From strumming a few chords to trying out a new recipe, I like filling my downtime with things that use a different part of my brain than design does.
