Hey there! I’m Lydia.
I’m a Registered Nurse and a UX Designer. Weird, right? My hard to match curiosity around human behavior doesn’t exactly follow the guideposts of traditional career paths.
In both roles, you’ll see me using imagination, knowledge, and empathy to change our chaotic world into a more hospitable place for humans.
