About Shelby Arnett

I am a UX designer based in Frederick, MD, and I support website and product design projects in the private and public sectors. For the last 10 years, I worked with marketing agencies to build beautiful and impactful websites in Figma and HubSpot, and I developed visual brands from the ground up. I recently finished supporting NITAAC, the acquisitions arm of the National Institutes of Health, where I managed their design system and assisted with the development of a learning management platform called NITAAC University. In addition to working on websites, I enjoy logo design, product and promotional packaging, motion graphics, and illustration.

During my time as Senior UX / UI Designer for Lone Fir Creative, I worked alongside our brilliant team to introduce Figma into our website design workflow, crafting an entire library of modules to help streamline our process and help us get to the fun part faster — making our client’s sites look and work exceptionally. More recently, I spearheaded the effort to introduce the accessibility tool accessiBe to our clients in order to bring their websites up to full ADA and WCAG compliance and make their sites an overall better experience for their customers.

Prior to Lone Fir, I worked as Senior Graphic Designer for Ironmark, a design and print agency here in Maryland. I wore many hats, creating graphics, websites, and branding to suit our clients’ marketing needs. I also had the opportunity to project manage the design work for the 2019 AWS Summit, a global multi-event conference requiring a variety of print, digital, and animated motion graphic assets.
