Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/evi

I am currently open for remote contract UX work, preferably in the following industries and specializations: AI, healthcare, education, logistics, personal finances, earth sciences, and art/culture.

With over 10+ years of experience in UX, I enjoy working with non for profits and businesses to help them discover and build the right experience for users. I have had the pleasure to consult and manage clients as well as work in house. My experience spans from small series B start ups to public companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Amex. 

Prior to starting Evi Studio, for art and UX consulting, I was a Staff UX researcher at Flexport building SaaS SMB and Enterprise experiences. My work spanned from foundational to evaluate research. I lead teams and mentored researchers, designers, and PMs on best practices.

When I'm not leading research, I'm getting my hands dirty making ceramics, skiing, and climbing.
