About Me
My name is Wendy, and I am a product designer with a background in business and HCI. I design to empower people's everyday interactions with technology. I am passionate about creating useable and enjoyable products and experiences, as well as helping businesses build a deeper understanding of their dynamic and diverse users. I want to make things that people love, and to bring love, humility, dedication, and curiosity to teams I work with.
