About Me

Hello, my name is Lena. I am a research focused UX Designer based in Seattle, WA. I’m an advocate for people and how they interact with the world around them.

My passion for helping people started through my work as a stewardess and deckhand. It’s where I learned how to curate valuable and seamless customer experiences. 

This work informs who I am as a designer. I know that in spite of all the hard work and details that go into design, good design often goes unnoticed. I look forward to evolving with ever changing technology trends and using my experience with the user to advocate for the user.

My professional life started on the Salish Sea, working as a stewardess and deckhand for Jamal Charters. I went out every summer for 5 years, learning to adapt to a new environment and pick up new skills on the fly. This is a career that combines my love for travel, the sea, and most importantly, making peoples lives easy and enjoyable.

I am continuing down this path not by boat, but by pursuing user experience.

Here I am in action, setting the table
