# Morgan Mayhew > UX Designer @ Heartflow Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/morganmayhew Growing up, I loved to draw princesses, mermaids and other fantastical creatures. When I learned I could make art a career, I dove in headfirst – full send! I graduated with a BFA in Animation/Illustration from San Jose State University, where I wore many hats, from being an illustrator, to 3D artist, compositing, and even producing an award-winning short film called My Turn! As a generalist, I gravitated toward three things: people, process, and design. That curiosity for how things come together—and how people experience them—led me back to my creative roots and into UX and design. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, snowboarding, and spending time outdoors. I'm also a huge fan of Star Wars, The Last of Us, and have a growing Harry Potter Lego collection. Nice to meet you! ## Work Experience ### UX Designer @ Heartflow Jan 2026 – Present ### Imaging Analyst @ Heartflow Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 ### Producer/Compositing Lead @ My Turn Short Film Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Jose, California, United States • Managed a 45-person team across technical, story, animation, visual development, and post- production departments, produced an award-winning short film • Ensured project success by organizing team-wide assets for seamless collaboration • Drove timely project deliverables by proactively following up with team members, ensuring consistent progress and on-schedule completion over a nine-month timeline • Owned team alignment by documenting meetings, summarizing decisions, creating agendas, and tracking tasks to maintain project clarity and focus • Composited 65+ shots using Nuke, leading to integrated 2D characters with the backgrounds • Composited projections of 2D elements onto 3D assets in order to significantly reduce workload of 2D artists for tougher shots, including camera movement and dolly zooms • Rotoscoped to fix small errors and reduce time spent for animators ### Intermediate Modeling Class Teacher’s Assistant @ San Jose State University Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 - Troubleshooted issues in Maya, Zbrush, and Substance Painter for multiple classes of 20+ students - Assisting with technical issues inside and outside of class, leading to decreased frustration when students are learning new programs and pipeline processes ### BFA Gallery Coordinator @ San Jose State University Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 • Took charge of an eight person team, coordinated between faculty, gallery staff, and 78 graduating artists to deliver a successful opening night and month-long exhibition of artwork • Defined and executed project scheduling and goals in coordination with external and internal milestones, ensuring tasks and assets were completed on time ### Animation/Illustration Student @ San Jose State University Jan 2019 – Jan 2024 | San Jose, California, United States Pursuing technical art and production for a BFA in Animation/Illustration. ### “A Trace” Short film Volunteer @ "A Trace" Short Film Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | San Jose, California, United States - Spearheaded a rendering timeline in Google Sheets leading to decreased uncertainty team-wide - Assisted in preparing Arnold renders according to pipeline protocols, leading to increased efficiency - Composited five shots using After Effects in order to process and de-noise EXR AOVs - Sound mixed the film using Premiere in order to ensure a balanced sound experience for audience ### Guest Advocate @ Target Jan 2018 – Jan 2023 | Cupertino, California, United States • Autonomously handled tasks in a fast-paced retail environment, demonstrating strong multi- tasking abilities, and proactively supporting team members and management • Managed daily schedules, ensuring optimal employee presence during peak times ### General Animator @ House of Chai Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Jose, California, United States - Communicated anticipated timeline for shots and turned in work on time ### Shrunkenheadman Charity Committee Researcher @ Shrunkenheadman Club Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Jose, California, United States - Generated ideas for fun events to involve the Shrunkenheadman Community with efforts for charity - Collaborated on logistics for events - Pursued efficient and effective meetings with respect to the time of others ## Education ### Bachelor of Fine Arts - BFA in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics and Special Effects San José State University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/morgan-mayhew --- Source: https://flows.cv/morganmayhew JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/morganmayhew/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
