Lucca McKay User Experience Designer
Lucca McKay is passionate about beautiful and simplistic user experiences. A computer enthusiast, he is currently finishing up his senior year at Purdue University, majoring in UX Design. His professional experience includes interning at Charles Schwab where his focus was designing their disabled employee rights website and serving as a research assistant in the UXP2 lab researching “dark patterns” within UX.
At the Purdue UXP2 lab, Lucca helped lead interviews, create personas, and used analysis methods such as Affinity Diagrams, Journey Maps, Storyboards, and Contextual Inquiry for his research. At the Schwab internship, Lucca created several iterations of multiple design products. He utilized a variety of methods to test their validity, including Usability and A/B Testing.
Lucca was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, surrounded by Silicon Valley influences. He was attracted to Purdue because of their engineering excellence and innovative UX program. Now a senior, he is experienced in Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, Blender, and Maya.
Lucca is a voracious, determined learner and a self-starter who always loves to learn something new. In the past, he was interested in learning how to create 3D computer images but his school had no suitable course offerings. He successfully petitioned the administration to create an independent-study. He goes above and beyond to learn quickly, asks questions often, and always brings a fresh perspective to the table.
Lucca would be an invaluable asset to any organization. You may reach him at mckay11@purdue.edu or see his work at luccamckay.com
