I'm Luke McMullin.
I am an interactive designer who specializes in Content Management, User Experience & Interface Design, Graphic Design, and Motion Design. I completed my Master of Science in Interactive Media at Quinnipiac University while doing web and content design freelance work, and I am currently looking for new full-time opportunities. As a result of my work, my clients experience more compelling design, smoother software navigation, and less frustration. On a personal note, I recently invested in a stand-up desk to improve my physical and mental health while working on projects, and during my off time I’ve been trying to step away from the computer and do something active.
My Beginning
As a child, I was always drawn to media with great visuals, especially those from my favorite TV shows on Nickelodeon, PBS, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel. I was fascinated by how design had such an impact on setting the mood for whatever I was watching, reading, or observing in real places like malls and schools.
I would carry this passion and curiosity with me to high school, university and beyond, where I would get involved in creative arts and graduate with High Honors and a Bachelor of Science in Digital and Interactive Media Arts.
I landed myself a few internships and even got a full-time job at a sign shop out of college… until the COVID-19 pandemic happened. However, I did not let my being laid off stop me from continuing to learn and apply my skills where I could. I accepted small freelance gigs where I could, accepted a part-time position for a Chamber of Commerce, and even went back to school to gain more skills. There, I learned all about the Design Thinking process and developed critical skills involving UX Design, greatly expanded on my Graphic Design skills, and even took up Motion Graphics.
Shortly after graduating, I had the honor of landing a position as a Graphic Web Designer for a major social care group, BeneLynk, where I had worked until January 2026.
Now and Forward
Due to a recent a downsizing of my previous employer, I am now open and ready for the next chapter of providing my skills for an organization or client(s) in need. I always seek to learn and improve with everything that I do, and I’m always researching new design methods and trends.
My Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy photography, playing PC games, playing and listening to music of all genres, and exploring new places.
