Early startup

I think my head hurts a bit from my headband actually. My shoulders are kind of tight. Like I said, my back is sore. My legs are fine, but my feet are a little cold because I haven’t worn socks in order to prevent sock tans.

Guided Entry

How Do I Feel?

What do you think the state of your body is is communicating about the state of your mind?

I think my body might be telling me that I’ve been working myself really hard. My assignments are time intensive, so since I haven’t been taking breaks it’s taking a bit of a toll on my body. I should maybe make more of an effort to go for walks or stretch for my body, or call friends now and then for my mental health.

Welcome back,

Ashley.

Define user and business goals and problems.

Conduct competitive and comparative analysis to understand the broader product landscape.

Collect qualitative and quantitative insights from the team and existing resources.

Facilitate design reviews and workshops to align with cross-functional teams.

Collaborate closely with developers to ensure accurate implementation and smooth development.

Perform QA and UI reviews to maintain visual and functional integrity pre-launch.

About

Experience

I specialize in end-to-end UX design and have brought multiple products from 0 to 1. I thrive in fast-paced startup environments and have a strong track record of delivering high-performing results. My background in fintech has also made me comfortable navigating complex, regulated spaces with legal and compliance top of mind.

Interests

I’m always learning and practicing a growth mindset—whether it’s graphic design, 3D illustration, or languages (I currently have a 1700+ day streak on Duolingo). I love travel and have worked remotely from over a dozen countries so far! Outside of work, you’ll often find me running, surfing, or at a concert.

What People Have to Say

"She's very coachable, incredibly easy to work with, and brings strong problem-solving skills to the table. Emma was quick to adopt the end-to-end design process I proposed, and always did a great job of clarifying the problem to be solved before starting on a design."

Brett MacLean

Sr. Director of Design at Borrowell

"Emma is an exceptionally conscientious, thoughtful, and systematic designer… Her customer obsession and exceptionally growth-oriented mindset will be an asset to any company."
