Principal Digital Content Strategist and Content Designer at VyStar Credit Union
ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Amakeda Ponds, Principal Digital Content Strategist and Content Designer at VyStar Credit Union. With a penchant for turning FinTech complexities into user-friendly experiences, I’m not just a User Experience (UX) professional, but skilled in crafting narratives that resonate with users while always looking for an opportunity to improve accessibility. When I’m not transforming the digital landscape, you’ll find me donning the hat of a mentor, passionately guiding the next generation of UX enthusiasts and seeking new opportunities to share Content Design knowledge.
But that’s not all—probably just like you, I wear many hats. As the Vice President of Customer Experience for SET Magazine, I use my creative prowess to redefine how readers engage with sports content focused on luxury lifestyle. Beyond the realms of tech and media, I’m an advocate for social justice. My commitment shines through in my work with Street Corner Resources and the Cure Violence movement, where I channel my skills to create impactful narratives that amplify voices and bring about positive change. In my down time, I blog about juggling work, motherhood and self-care at www.mommymixup.com.
