Nice to meet you, I’m Carolyn.
I believe UX principles and practices can be used for good and improving the quality of life for all. Whether thats solving user problems or understanding business needs, I apply empathy and a human-centered approach in every project.
With over 12+ years working in user experience and product design I have led teams in conducting research, usability testing, and go-to-market strategy to drive product innovation and ensure accessibility. I have extensive experience in product portfolio management, and I understand how to use analytics to inform and improve product roadmaps.
Currently I call the Big Island of Hawaii home where I enjoy the slower paced life and find inspiration in nature and focusing on what’s important. This allows me to practice balance and mindfulness in my personal life and at work. Whether leading a team or contributing to a project I strive to create a culture of growth, honest feedback, community and respect.
I am excited to share my work and experience with you. Don’t hesitate to reach out If you have any questions or are interested in collaborating.
I'd love to hear from you!
