Hi, I'm Julie (she/her), a Brooklyn-based product designer who {codes}. Currently, I'm on a happiness journey, inspired by the Science of Well-Being, and learning about the human brain. My goal is to joyfully shape the human experience through design.
As a designer, I'm excited about transforming traditional industries though technology and designing ethical and inclusive products that leverage AI’s potential.
Learn
When getting started, I build a strong understanding of the user, industry, and stakeholders
Communicate
I engage early and often with users, engineers, and stakeholders to make sure my work is aligned with product, development, and business goals
Adapt
I readily adapt to changing priorities and deadlines, iterating based on insights from data and user feedback
Before I entered tech, I studied social sciences 🧠, journalism 📰, and architecture 📐, and worked in communications 📝 and education 🍎. I blend my interdisciplinary background to tie together my technical knowledge with creative problem-solving.
A lifelong learner, I’m always curious about something. One recent thing I’ve learned about is choice architecture, the design of different ways in which choices can be presented to decision makers, and the impact of that presentation on decision-making.
As designers, how can we responsibly present choices to people?
I’m passionate about social issues such as climate change, education, healthcare. I'm also interested fitness, fintech, and enterprise platforms.
In my free time you'll find me playing ultimate frisbee 🥏, climbing fake rocks 🧗, skiing ⛷, listening to podcasts 🎧, reading 📖, drawing 🖌️, at a comedy show 🎭, and seeking out new places ✈️ and activities 💃. (Can you tell I have many hobbies?)
Say hello! I enjoy meeting people and would love to get to know you and share our experiences. Let's chat about design, something new you’ve learned, or any one of my many hobbies (and potential future hobbies :D)!
