About

I’m Bridgit Jung, a UX designer and UX researcher focused on building clear, accessible experiences for complex tools. At Synopsys (formerly Ansys), I redesign core UI patterns and navigation for 3D engineering simulation products, turning stakeholder requirements into developer-ready specs and polished interaction details.

I also enjoy ownership across the product lifecycle—from early discovery and mixed-methods research to design systems, onboarding flows, and accessibility improvements. My background includes teaching interaction design, supporting inclusive learning and archives, and shipping production UI fixes, with a strong emphasis on reusable components, visual clarity, and first-run adoption.
