Hey there! I’m Lydia.

I’m a Registered Nurse and a UX Designer. My hard-to-match curiosity around human behavior doesn’t always follow the guideposts of traditional career paths, but wow, do I have fun trying to keep up with it!

In any role, you can count on me using imagination, knowledge, and empathy to shift our tough world into a more friendly place for humans.
