Hi, I’m Lena 🍄

☕  Background in Design & Avid Learner

I'm a Product Designer with 8 years of experience in design across advertising, in-house teams, and tech. I believe in creating designs that are accessible and give voice to those who have been historically underrepresented.

My design process is rooted in implementing user research to every aspect of design. By deeply understanding the needs and goals of users, I strive to create intuitive and engaging experiences that are accessible to all walks of life and abilities.

In addition to my expertise in UX/UI design, I have many other creative skills, including graphic design, animation/motion graphics, illustration, and more. I'm a lifelong learner, constantly seeking out new design techniques and tools to stay at the forefront of my field.

🌳 If I was in the Avatar: the Last Airbender universe, I’d be an Earth Bender.

Dependable

I’m able to work within constraints and limitations, using available resources to create effective and efficient designs.

Grit

I’m resilient, able to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to changes in the market and user needs.

Determined

I’m willing to push through challenges and obstacles to achieve the goals set out. I’m persistent in continually iterating and refining designs.

🍄 Lifelong Tree-Hugger

I have a lifelong passion for all things nature and conservation. Mushrooms have a special place in my heart and I’m ready for them to take over the scientific world. I believe taking inspiration from nature and the environment can inform sustainable design practices and lead to unique and effective solutions.
