About Pralie Dutzel

Designer & Developer

Hi there! I'm Pralie (pronounced pray-lee), and I'm a user experience designer, front-end developer, accessibility advocate, and design strategist currently living in Austin, Texas.

Although my educational background is in video game design, I got my start building websites and doing graphic design in middle school. Since then, I've honed both my design and front-end development skills to craft a variety of experiences for a number of clients, including Polaris, Joydrive, Subaru, Vrbo, Expedia Group, PXG, and Valley of the Sun YMCA.

I love working in hybrid roles that let me leverage both sides of my skill set. As a designer, I strive to create clean designs that establish and maintain a cohesive identity throughout, and especially enjoy honing complex, information-dense systems into intuitive experiences. On the development side, I specialize in CSS, writing semantic code with a focus on accessibility, and building component libraries. I've used a number of different programming languages throughout my career, and am always excited to learn a new framework. My current obsessions include design systems, container queries, Phoenix components, and, as always, finding that perfect font.

You can find case studies of selected projects I've worked on here, and more in-depth details can be provided for NDA work upon request.

Prototypes and interaction design examples can be found on my Dribbble and CodePen.

You can also check out the Figma file and GitHub repository for this site, which was designed and built by me, to get a better feel for how I work and organize things.
