Summary
Lilly Borchardt is a PhD candidate and multidisciplinary full-stack designer with 11 years’ experience blending UX research, UI design and front-end development to create thoughtful digital experiences. Her research at The University of Queensland sits at the intersection of interaction design and education, where she co-designs digital tools with teachers to scaffold students’ reflective thinking—translating classroom observations and qualitative analysis into practical prototypes. Previously a Lead UX Designer and long-time web/graphic designer, she is fluent in HTML/CSS/JS and design tools while also comfortable with AngularJS, PHP and Python. Lilly combines academic rigour and design-thinking facilitation with hands-on craft practice as a ceramics teacher, a less obvious creative outlet that informs her tactile, human-centred design sensibility.
