Healthcare taught me to look beyond the immediate problem and understand the broader context shaping someone’s experience: the systems, constraints, and moments of friction around them.
Hi, I’m Lauren
I’m a product designer who loves making complex systems feel clear and intuitive. My background in tech sales and human-computer interaction shapes how I approach research, human behavior, and problem-solving. I’m especially drawn to complicated workflows and information-heavy products, and I enjoy bringing my designs to life with React, Next.js, and AI-assisted development tools.
Experience
Where I've been
Right now, I’m a Product Design Intern at Kara, redesigning environmental compliance workflows and evolving the design system.
Previously, I’ve worked across enterprise software, education technology, and internal tools at Commvault, Learvo, and Atlassian. Across those experiences, I’ve gravitated toward complex workflows, research-driven decisions, and scalable systems.

DESIGN JOURNEY
What shaped how I design
My path into design moved through healthcare, sales, and design.
Across each field, I kept returning to the same challenge: where people face friction, what gets in their way, and how experiences could work better.
