Hey what’s up, I’m
Charnell McQueen.
I’m a designer, writer, and blerd with a thing for empathy, clarity, and impact.
I’m a designer who obsesses over the connective tissue of an organization. My work lives at the intersection of systemic integrity and operational empathy.
I’ve spent the last few years embedded in federal and educational environments, acting as a translator between complex data requirements and the real people who use them.
I believe the best design is often invisible—it’s the seamless flow of information that allows people to stop fighting their tools and start doing their best work.
I design for inclusion, empathy, and sustainability, pushing for better representation in tech and design.
I’m known for my loud laugh, wild stories as a military brat and RA (resident advisor), and razor-sharp wit.
