Resume
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a UX designer and Master’s student focused on creating accessible, human-centered experiences across both digital and physical design. I love uncovering the stories behind how people use technology and turning those insights into thoughtful, inclusive solutions.
My background in film and photography shaped how I see design. I’m drawn to projects that help people feel connected and understood, and I approach each one with curiosity and empathy. I love combining research and creativity to explore what people need and how design can genuinely improve their experience. My goal is to make technology feel approachable, inclusive, and engaging, while turning complex problems into something clear and meaningful.
My experience
I have had the pleasure to work in different roles across a variety of industries. These different experiences have shaped my approach to work and crafting expereinces for all types of people. I'm always interested in new, exciting and challenging adventures.
