Hi, I'm Cindy. A designer and technologist. I've spent the last 6 years designing with data for enterprise financial software. Prior to that, I freelanced as a designer and developer for magazines, social apps, authors, and startups.

My work in media, particularly literary magazines, led me to think of interfaces as a medium of communication—communicating functionality and purpose. I bring a lot of attention to words in UX.

I'm particularly interested in the way design itself can be the product, as it is in architecture or furniture design.

At one point I took a break from design to be an actor, and have trained with the Living Theatre as well as the Upright Citizens Brigade learning improv. Acting and improvisation honed my ability to listen, which is a bit of a superpower, it turns out. I also worked as a costume designer and art director.

I think this all makes me highly adaptable and able to quickly understand unfamiliar problems, and why I love defining new problems and then working to solve them.
