Curious about the woman behind the work?
I am a UX Designer and Researcher who got her start in Industrial Design. What draws me to design is my need to combine my love of art and creating, with my curiosity about people, our feelings, and our behaviors.
The arts and empathy have been my muses throughout my life. Whether that be absorbing the stories and passions of those around me, studying mental health and healing work, or listening to an endless list of podcasts, I am always learning new ways to see the world and connect with others.
I use art as a way to reconnect with myself and share my perspectives with the world, because art is an amazing conduite of emotions. I love experimenting with different mediums as a way to let my structured side take a break, and my whimsical side shine.

What People Are Saying:
"I have had the pleasure of working with Abby as both a colleague and as a designer on my team, and in this time she has never failed to show care and dedication for the user and the final experience. Abby approaches problems in a logical and systematic way, clearly demonstrating her strong design thinking in every project. While Abby is consistently an amazing team member, she also has the rare ability to take a general problem and work through the correct steps to gather information, propose designs, and validate with minimal guidance. Abby has demonstrated a passion for the user and perfecting the experience in all projects I have worked on with her. She is meticulous in conducting valuable research and is able to distill the feedback into solutions that truly delight the user, often in innovative, out of the box, efficient ways. I can wholeheartedly recommend Abby knowing that she will be a valuable addition to any team, and help to consistently provide amazing design solutions. "
— Devin Coakley: Industrial Design manager at Dorel Juvenile Group“I have had the honor of mentoring and guiding Abby since 2020 in her personal and professional growth. Among many other things, I have observed Abby show up as consistent, reliable, and genuinely interested in doing her best - for herself, her friends and family, and the ripple she makes in the world. She is extremely coachable, and willing to see new perspectives on any subject or situation - especially the ones that feel most foreign to her. She isn't afraid to ask questions and that is the reason why her growth potential is limitless.”
— Lillian So: Personal Development Coach“Abby was a tremendous asset and team leader during our two-week sprint. She made significant contributions to our project in terms of user research and product design. Abby brought her creative and organized design background to her work, and was consistently a reliable and collaborative team member.”
