​Hey there, I'm Alyssa! I am a mission-driven UX designer and researcher.
‍
I started out in physical product design, earning a Master's from Stanford and Bachelor's from MIT in mechanical engineering.

I transitioned into UX design because I wanted to dive into what to build and why β€” regardless of the medium. Since then, I've done design work for nonprofits, a software startup, engineering consultancies, and the City of Philadelphia.
‍
Overall, I thrive in early-stage projects where I distill complex workflows, define the first versions of new features and services, and learn new skills on the fly.

Outside of work, you can find me dancing, teaching, reading for book club, or baking celebratory cakes! Feel free to check out my resume or email me if you'd like to chat :)
