Hey there!
My name is Hailey and I am a user designer and researcher currently located in Los Angeles. With a background in Sociology and Economics, I have a wide variety of knowledge that I strive to implement. I am constantly learning to amplify the user experience for a diverse group of individuals while maintaining core business values

My Values
As designers, we heavily rely on empathy for not only users but also company stakeholders. I understand the importance of being able to empathize with user needs while adhering to specific business goals
🌷 Empathy goes a long way
I believe that curiosity allows us to deepen engagement and create more meaningful designs. My ability to ask the unknown and seek further knowledge is one that I take great pride in
🧚♀️ Always Be Curious
I am always seeking to learn the best way to create accessible designs. Whether that be reading or collaborating, I aim to continuously develop myself as a designer
🧠 Never stop learning
Offline Me
Traveling is my passion and ultimately my source of inspiration. I love to eat my way around the world while learning the culture of the land explored
When I’m not traveling, I’m constantly searching for new places to try and expanding my Yelp elite status ◡̈
Travel foodie
After being on the high school water polo and swim team, I found that I am happiest when I keep active- whether it be pilates, swimming or golfing. I am a consistent gym-goer who’s constantly searching for ways to keep my body moving and happy. My favorite activity at the moment is solidcore!

One hobby I am exploring is reading outside of academic times. My favorite genres are self help and murder mysteries, but recently I have opened my options to design books
Currently I have pages open on two books:
The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker
The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman
