The digital portfolio of
Catherine Ross.
Welcome to my page! I am a student at Purdue University graduating in May 2025. I am working toward a degree in Web Programming & Design, with minors in Design & Innovation and Management.
Professional Work
Along with a team of 9 others, we worked with Bracketology sponsors to revamp their website with the goals of boosting engagement and improving conversion rates from the website to downloading the Bracketology application.
The team was comprised of five UX designers and five web developers. As the web development lead, I worked closely with the UX team to research, ideate, and implement new features and layouts to the Bracketology web pages via Elementor.
Major contributions included redesigning a fantasy league template, implementing stylized carousels to home page, and improving SEO scores.
Our clients requested little-to-no code with any new features. After a bit of trial and error, we utilized templates and testimonial carousels to work around our issues.
Being a leader of this team taught me some valuable lessons about communication, planning, and management.
Being a member of this team was an enlightening experience, offering insight to the trials and tribulations of collaboration. I enjoyed working in this setting to fulfill deliverables the Bracketology team was more than satisfied with.
This past summer, I had the pleasure of interning for Hexitime, a London-based timebanking software platform seeking to make education more accessible.
Working with this brand has taught me skills to better understand how technology, design, and brand identity can work in tandem to better user experience.
Technical Artwork + Design
My time at Purdue University offered unique experiences to dabble & excel in various programs including HTML, Javascript, PHP, C#, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma.
A little about me…
I am from Closter, New Jersey, These are my two siblings, Colin and Claire. The C names are a funny coincidence! Our two dogs, Lulu and Phoebe are my mother’s “4th” and “5th” children. While away at college, I’ve missed them so much — and my parents too, of course.
One of my favorite memories from college was studying abroad! I was located in London for eight weeks, exploring everything the city has to offer. Walking along the Thames River while watching the sun set over London is something I will never forget. My favorite trip while based in London was to Edinburgh, Scotland!
