Hey, I’m Liza…

a lifelong learner, a master facilitator, and a UX/UI designer & researcher passionate about accessibility and inclusivity.

My Approach

Make People Awesome

I believe technology should be used to make people awesome. To achieve this, I begin with the user, design solutions that address genuine needs, and hold empathy for every individual who touches the ecosystem of a product or service.

Deliver Value Continuously

I take an iterative approach to ensure quality through refinement. I work collaboratively and thrive on rapid feedback cycles. Trained as a Scrum Master, I can integrate seamlessly with a development team’s sprint cycle to deliver consistently.

  • 8+ Years Working With Dev Teams

    I’m a trained people and process coach who works with teams to center the user.

  • 6 Years of Facilitation Experience

    I’m a highly skilled facilitator trained in outcome-based workshop design.

  • Self-Taught Fiber Artist

    I’m a weaver and fiber artist in my spare time and bring my artist’s eye to my work.
