Hi, I’m Lauren!
An Explorer, Organizer, Leader, and Designer.
I design research-backed, user-centric digital solutions for a wide range of government, private, and non-profit clients. With a background in Cognitive Science and Human Computer Interaction, my design approach is research oriented. I have three years of combined experience in UX, both agency-side and with in-house creative teams.
As a UX Strategist, I strive to channel my creative energy to making a social impact. I’m always looking for more opportunities and love to meet new people, so please feel free to reach out.
