Hi, I’m Anna.
I'm a User Experience Lead and Manager who champions research in industries spanning from healthcare to government.
About me
I lead with empathy, clarity, and purpose. My approach centers on empowering my team with the resources and support they need to thrive, while actively clearing blockers — whether that means collaborating cross-functionally with developers or navigating client needs. With a background in psychology and people management, I bring a people-first lens to problem-solving. I take time to deeply understand problems before jumping to solutions, always tailoring my leadership style — sometimes stepping in as a coach, sometimes as a manager — depending on what the moment calls for.
Peers have described me as an ambitious, detail-oriented leader with strong communication skills and a deep commitment to team success. I'm proactive, organized, and known for my ability to synthesize complex information into clear, actionable plans.
I balance high-level strategic thinking with hands-on design mentorship. I support designers in crafting user experiences grounded in research, our design system, and best practices, while also collaborating with stakeholders on both short-term initiatives and long-term vision. I ensure we never become a blocker, and instead are a catalyst for great work.
At my core, I lead with empathy and adaptability, always keeping people and purpose at the center of everything I do.
NN/g Master Certificate Badge
UX Master Certified
With the intention of leading by example, I continue to participate in trainings and courses to strengthen my UX skillset and stay abreast of the best ways to communicate processes/ideas both internally and with stakeholders.
I have also completed a certificate in web accessibility, recognizing the absolute need for inclusivity in design and advocating for accessible experiences.
