UX Design

Hello, I’m Laura! I’m a user experience designer and UX writer with 15+ years of experience in design, marketing, journalism, social media, education, and academic research.

I’m passionate about collaboration, connection, and wild creativity. In my UX work, I focus on communication as a tool for empathy and understanding. View my resume here.

This allows me to get to the heart of the problem and devise creative solutions, and also helps me to figure out what is working (and what isn’t) for the user, so I can build more effective prototypes in each iteration.

Here is a portfolio of my recent UX design projects. Click on the image to access the case study.

AccessiTrail:
An app and dedicated community for disabled and abled hikers, allowing them to find and review trails and outdoor spaces for accessibility while connecting with other disabled outdoors enthusiasts.

Spotify App Improvement:
A new app feature that will help Spotify retain listeners who don’t want the occasional stray song, album, or playlist (kids’ songs, for example) to make their Spotify Wrapped statistics feel inaccurate.

Vegan Bakery App
& Responsive Website:

An easy-to-use ordering tool for customers of an upstate New York vegan bakery, allowing them to request and pay for items with custom options.
