Hey, I’m Courtney O’Connell – a designer in Greenpoint, NYC.
I’ve been designing for 6 years and love working collaboratively. I believe successful design is measureable, code-conscious, and user-empathic, as well as mindful of the greater system and the nuanced details. Although I’m currently a full-time Art Director at TheLadders, I am always interested in freelance work.
Designing takes up nearly all of my waking hours, but when I’m not designing I enjoy exploring the city, planning my next escape from the city, binge-watching docs on Netflix, sleeping, attending classes at Brooklyn Brainery, and planning my wedding.
