❋ Hey there, I’m Alexa ❋

I've journeyed from biomedical engineering to UX design, driven by a passion for crafting intuitive and inclusive experiences.

5+ years

of design, research, and engineering experience

In 2023, I graduated from UW’s MS HCDE program. While there (and still now), I worked on research under Dr. Kate Starbird.
As an R&D Engineer at Boston Scientific, I led efforts to incorporate user-centered design strategies into our workflow.
I graduated from Georgia Tech with my BS in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Industrial Design, with a focus on human factors.
