Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGraham Held is a UI/UX designer and multidisciplinary creator with a decade of experience blending art, music, and engineering to build compelling digital products. Based in California, he currently shapes user experiences at Posit while freelancing as a 3D animator for Allegro MicroSystems, delivering polished marketing assets and interactive demos. His background as a UI developer at Corelation involved integrating 30+ third-party systems using SSO, SOAP, SAML and JSON, giving him deep practical knowledge of front-end integration and enterprise workflows. Graham’s open-source contributions include front-end work on the widely used RStudio IDE, where he added file-creation UX to the Files view—evidence of his ability to improve developer-facing tools. Trained in Game and Interactive Media Design with a CS minor from WPI, he combines aesthetic sensibility with engineering rigor to prototype and ship cross-disciplinary solutions. Notably, he often moves between code, visual design, and animation—making him as comfortable writing Java/GWT UI changes as crafting 3D assets and shaders.
