ABOUT ANNA

Hello, I’m Anna. I’m a UX Researcher that facilitates empathetic design by uncovering + amplifying the stories of others.

As a ux designer turned researcher I’m passionate about connection through storytelling. Pairing my design experience with my graduate studies, I am skilled in conducting both generative and evaluative research, analyzing user feedback, and translating findings into actionable design recommendations. By uncovering insights and collaborating with cross-functional teams, I aim to drive empathetic design and deliver innovative solutions that resonate with and empower people.
