About Me

My name is Sydney Wachholz!

Hello! I’m a digital artist based in California. I design apps and websites, and also do some product designs. I am currently a student at Cal Poly Pomona, where I am majoring in VCD (Visual Communication Design). In my free time, I enjoy playing with my dog, playing video games on my computer and Switch, and hanging out with my friends.

I grew up in Santa Barbara, surrounded by nature, art, and creativity. That environment sparked my curiosity and shaped the way I see the world. Whether I’m sketching out an interface or exploring new design tools, I’m always trying to blend beauty with function.

Recently, I completed an instructional design internship, which was an experience that significantly expanded my perspective and I'm excited about the possibility of returning to work professionally there.

Purpose-Driven Design

I believe great design should do more than look beautiful, it should serve a meaningful purpose. Whether I’m designing an app interface, website, or product experience,
I strive to create thoughtful solutions that are intuitive, functional, and impactful.

Empathy & Human Connection

I design with people at the center, considering their needs, emotions, and experiences. Collaboration, listening, and understanding diverse perspectives are at the heart of my process, allowing me to create work that genuinely resonates.

Curiosity & Continuous Growth

I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and refining my craft. I embrace new tools, evolving technologies, and fresh ideas with excitement. Growth fuels my creativity, and I’m always looking for ways to push my skills further while staying adaptable in an ever-changing design landscape.
