Hey yall, I’m Suky!
I’m a UX designer. My design superpower is that I love to learn. I pride myself on being adaptable (I grew up in three countries) and resilient (we New Orleanians have to be).
Experience
Effective Communicator
As a former middle school teacher, I have thousands of hours of training in making complex information easy to understand for the toughest of crowds. My strong communication skills are an asset whether I’m presenting designs to developers and PMs or speaking to large crowds.
Collaborative Leader
I believe strongly in designers collaborating with various stakeholders not only to ship software but also to influence product vision and strategy. My previous experience leading cross-functional teams to set and reach goals makes me a better designer and teammate.
Trained as a material culture and design historian, I am inspired by the intersection of form and function and the convergence of the abstract and the concrete.
