Hi, I'm Nancy!

Who am I?

I'm a product designer whose skills include—but are not limited to—user experience, user research, information architecture, usability testing, and, of course, visual and interaction design.

I graduated from the University of Washington (UW) with a Bachelor of Science in Informatics, concentrating in Human-Computer Interaction. I featured in the 2020 Informatics Program Brochure (page 13) and wrote about how the Information School (iSchool) shaped me into a better designer. My main interests lie in improving people's lives, such as social impact and civic technology, and how design and technology can play that role and essentially be used for good.

I'm currently working at Carina where I've been improving our platform's experience for Washington State Medicaid in-home care providers and consumers; family child care providers, child care substitutes, and parents; and many more coming up that's all a secret for now until we launch. This article includes a video (which I feature in as the lead designer) on what we did to alleviate the child care crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic caused nationwide in the U.S. Carina has been growing since I've joined in May 2019, and it's definitely an exciting time to be with the team!

In my downtime, I'm either geeking out over design, looking at artwork and illustrations, or immersing myself in my hobbies.
