Eva Fahey
张雯林
Hi, I'm Eva Fahey, a Massachusetts-based visual designer specializing in UX/UI design.
I'm passionate about transforming user experiences with intuitive design to achieve business objectives. I craft digital narratives that blend artistry with user empathy, elevating interactions into an accessible and engaging user experience.
With a background in fine arts, I utilize end-to-end user research to ensure my designs are both aesthetically pleasing and user-centric. I'm also learning Mandarin, my birth language, further expanding my cultural and linguistic skills.
As an Artist
With a BFA in Studio Arts and a minor in Art History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I bring my background as a fine artist to all my visual design work. This academic and practical foundation in the arts infuses my approach to visual design with a deep appreciation for aesthetic principles, historical context, and the power of storytelling.
Merging aesthetic precision with user-centric design, I navigate the vibrant intersection of visual arts and digital functionality to create intentional, compelling user experiences.
As a Designer
I've learned from
- Springboard, (User Experience/User Interface Design Professional Track Certificate, 2024)
- University of Massachusetts Amherst (BFA, 2014-2018)
Through mentor-guided projects, I tackled real-world design challenges, learning to synthesize user feedback, data, and aesthetic sensibility into cohesive digital solutions. This experience not only honed my skills in key design tools and technologies but also ingrained in me a user-first philosophy—ensuring that my designs always prioritize accessibility, usability, and engagement.
Charting a course from fine arts to digital landscapes, my creative passion now thrives on enhancing user interfaces with artistic storytelling and intuitive design.
Project work examples from my time at Springboard
From Figma to front-end finesse: I bring a robust toolkit of industry-standard software and methodologies to deliver designs that resonate and results that define success.
Some of the tools I’ve worked with include:
Projects
Roam
Roam is a specialized vertical SAAS platform for digital creatives.
- User Research and Testing: Conducted extensive user research and usability testing to gather insights and improve the user experience for key features such as Fee Finder, Dashboard, Brand Kit, and Client View.
- Low and High Fidelity Wireframes: Designed both low and high fidelity wireframes for critical components of Roam's platform, ensuring intuitive navigation and user-friendly interfaces across Fee Finder, Dashboard, Brand Kit, and Client View.
- Collaborative Design Process: Collaborated closely with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to align design solutions with business objectives and user needs, enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetic of Roam's platform.

Client Feedback
“It seemed intuitive and organized and I like how everything's in one place.”
“It covered everything that I would look for or need to guide me to make better agreements & SOW documentation with the client. It helps you make more negotiating power as well because it's automating the fee for you. It is telling you “you are underselling yourself” and based on “rush” it is telling you what your fee should be. I love that. It just takes all that brain power and puts it into the system…”
Usability Testing
I designed, conducted, and synthesized usability testing at Roam to make key suggestions to the development team and ensure the product was ready for launch.
- Defined Objectives: Set clear goals to validate the Fee Finder tool and high-level product decisions.
- Participant Recruitment: Selected 6 participants for pilot testing.
- Preparation: Developed a detailed testing script and ensured familiarity with Roam’s features.
- Conducted Moderated Sessions: Performed remote usability testing, guiding participants through realistic task scenarios.
- Collected Metrics: Measured task completion rate, time-on-task, user satisfaction, and misclick rate.
- Gathered Feedback: Asked follow-up questions to gain insights on usability and intuitiveness.
- Data Analysis: Analyzed feedback to identify key issues and areas for improvement.
- Reported Findings: Compiled a report with recommendations and presented it to the development and UX teams.
Graphic Design & Web Design Projects
I’ve also dabbled in graphic & web design, creating logos, posters, school bumper stickers, banners, and more!
