About Me

Ellis Aguilar is a hands-on designer and systems thinker currently advancing integrated product design at Northwestern’s Segal Design Institute. With a B.A. in Media Arts and Sciences from Wellesley College, they bring together a background in fine arts and computer science to explore how design can drive meaningful social change.

Their work is grounded in a commitment to accessibility, equity, and inclusive design. These values are shaped by both personal experience and time spent outdoors, where the relationship between user, tool, and environment becomes immediate and tangible. Whether navigating rocky singletrack on a mountain bike or repairing a derailleur for city commuters, Ellis draws insight from the mechanics of movement and the demands of real-world conditions. This same curiosity informs their approach to digital systems, where they build interfaces that are intuitive, resilient, and responsive to diverse needs.
