Sr. User Experience Lead & Strategist
soccer extraordinaire, dog lover & home projects enthusiast
Rachel Minnicks
Welcome to my website! I accidentally fell into the user experience field by trying to get out of taking a required course in college (such a millennial--I know). I ended up talking to an advisor in the Engineering School at Mercer University, and it changed my life--so much that I received my Master's degree from Mercer as well! I knew I had found my calling. Even as a child, I was constantly trying to find solutions to make everyday items easier for people to use. Besides loving to create useful and usable products, I love dogs (especially my 80 pound black lab, Luther), all sports, house projects, and new technology. If you have any questions, shoot me an email!

Master's Student
Similar to my Bachelor degree for Technical Communication, my Master's degree has a better emphasis of connecting practice with theory within a management setting. Throughout the curriculum, we used real work experiences within our own companies to create situations where Technical Communication practices met our day-to-day activities.
