RESUME

Chet Schmid

Senior UX / UI Designer

Hello! I’m Chet Schmid, a dedicated UX designer with a passion for the aviation industry. My tenure at Wheels Up, where I delved deep into the Avianis platform, allowed me to bridge my passion for flight with my love for design, creating intuitive interfaces that resonate with users in the aviation realm. Beyond the screen, my discipline in Jiu Jitsu teaches me the art of balance, persistence, and precision—traits I bring into my design philosophy. Together, my experience and enthusiasm drive me to craft user experiences that soar, delivering seamless interactions that are grounded in user needs. Dive in to explore my journey in connecting users to the skies.

Eight years of experience

Aviation / Logistics / Real Estate / Ecommerce

Proven results

Chet is a strong and reliable designer who was an instrumental part of rebuilding Wheels Up’s internal facing apps. His unique understanding of team members’ needs and methodical approach to design helped rebrand complex tools for users across the company. Chet’s steadfastness behind the screen, confidence during presentations and easy going attitude in team meetings make him a great asset for any UX organization.
