I never knew how much design impacted my life until I was diagnosed with a genetic, connective tissue disorder.
The simplest tasks, such as opening a jar of marinara sauce, became nearly impossible without the use of assistive products (or friends). I’ve always had an innate curiosity for why products worked or didn’t, and I slowly recognized this influencing other areas of my life. I would ask myself questions like, “Why can’t I sort my music library by genre?” or I’d begin brainstorming features to solve my niche pet peeves.
These days I am still asking myself those questions, only now I get to ask them with extremely talented designers at Accenture. For the last three years, I have worked with countless folks in a number of industries like the public sector, healthcare, education, and big corporations. I leverage my background in Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction with my natural inclination to challenge and improve designs to each problem space I encounter. I am driven to make every experience impactful and inclusive using my expertise in accessibility, information architecture, user research, and usability.
As an introvert, I (surprisingly) love meeting new people - feel free to say hello!
where to find me?
Geographically: San Francisco.
Generally: Playing with my pup, Lewis, exploring farmers markets to tackle new in-season recipes, always listening to and finding new music, and probably trapping unsuspecting strangers into endless conversations on usability and accessibility.
