Meet the 2023-2024 Leadership Team: Rae Eggleston, Web Coordinator
“Currently I am still learning about User Experience as a subject,
– Rae Eggleston
but I am gaining new knowledge all the time.
I feel that UX is a dynamic subject that spans multiple disciplines,
and there is always something to learn and wisdom to gain.”
Hey Folks! I’m Rae Eggleston (they/them) and I am the Web Coordinator for UXSG @ SJSU iSchool!
My undergraduate degree is in Graphic Design, but I wanted to do more with my education and I have always been interested in User Experience ever since I found out that it existed. I love libraries, reading, and the exchange of information and ideas, so combining my love of the arts and my love of libraries seemed natural!
I am typically the person that people come to when they want the answer to a question, and so I am happy to be joining this unique group of students that shares my love of knowledge and my passion
for information.
I am in my second year of the MLIS program. My hope is to eventually complete a PhD in Library and Information Science, and to specialize in the study of UX Research.
“My primary focus in web design is accessibility,
as I believe that there should be equal opportunity
to the internet and to information, no matter
what your condition or circumstances may be.”

As far as hobbies, I love anime, video games, science fiction, and fantasy. I’m not currently reading anything but I have a pile of books that need to be read when I’m not doing homework. Ultimately, I usually end up playing Stardew Valley or Civilization VI in my free time.
Currently I live in Denver, Colorado, and moved here in May of 2023. I am still getting to know the area, but am excited to see what sorts of events are available, such as Meow Wolf or concerts at Red Rocks.
I love music, and the arts are still a large part of my life, even if I don’t always directly participate in them. I would like to think that UX is an art in its own right; a discipline that is dynamic and ever-changing.
So happy to be the Web Coordinator for this group! Please feel free to leave any questions or comments in our comment box, and I will be happy to answer them in regards to the website.
