About Pralie Dutzel

Your Creative Anchor

Hello there! My name is Pralie, and I’m a UX designer and senior front-end developer based out of Austin, Texas.

As a designer, I work to create clean, modern designs that establish and maintain a cohesive identity throughout. On the development side, I focus on writing well-structured, maintainable code. My current obsessions include design systems, interaction design, CSS Grid, accessibility, and, as always, finding that perfect font.

My Workflow

My front-end development workflow typically begins with dissecting designs into the patterns that make them up, then building out components for each pattern before combining them into a fully responsive layout. The actual implementation depends on what I’m building, but I have experience with React, WordPress, PHP, Kentico, Prestashop, and of course, static HTML.

For design, I begin with the information architecture, wireframes, and sketches before creating mockups. I tend to switch back and forth between Sketch or Figma and designing in the browser, and I prefer to send clients a working prototype if possible.

Skill Set

Although my educational background is in game design, I got my start building websites in middle school. Since then, I’ve honed my design and front-end development skills to create websites and interactive experiences for a variety of clients. My specialties lie in building and maintaining design systems, writing CSS and Sass, crafting responsive patterns, and using game design techniques to improve UX.
