Hi there! I'm Emily, and I am a firm believer that thoughtful human-centered design is the best way to solve complicated problems. I bring a multifaceted approach to problem solving that involves research, empathy, ideation, and rapid testing and iteration.
I believe that human-centered design can change the world.
I specialize in:
Design strategy
Human-centered design thinking coaching, training and facilitation
Getting results rapidly with design sprints
UX and visual design and prototyping
Qualitative and quantitative research
Design team management
Most of all, I love using empathy and design thinking to solve tough problems.

These are some of the recent challenges I’ve helped companies tackle. I’d be happy to walk you through these case studies on a call. Or, check out some of my UX and design strategy work.
