Hi, I am Jordan Bennett.
UI/UX Developer
based in Arden, NC
WHO AM I
Hello, I'm Jordan Bennett, a UI/UX developer based in Arden, NC. I have ten years of hands-on experience creating streamlined, user-focused digital solutions. In that time, I've worked with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and clients like Pure Barre, Warner Brothers, RMS Beauty, and the American Cancer Society, always placing clarity, usability, accessability, well-crafted UX writing, and purposeful microcopy at the core of each project.
When I'm not fully immersed in coding or refining a user workflow, you'll find me exploring the outdoors, whether I'm camping in the Rockies, Cascades, or Appalachians, or venturing out on the Atlantic coast.
If you're looking for someone who values thoughtful, responsive interfaces, thorough UX analysis, and well-structured development, I'd love to connect and see how we can work together.
Current Focus
Recently, I've been deep-diving into React and Next.js, focusing on building full applications from the ground up. While I've used these frameworks in production, I'm honing my ability to structure scalable front-end applications efficiently. I'm also exploring high-level data analysis to expand my problem-solving toolkit for UI and UX-driven decision-making, with an emphasis on user research, microcopy, and clear, concise UX writing.
