Head of Design at Representable.org, a civic-tech nonprofit that allows people to map their communities.

Representable works to fight gerrymandering, redlining, and other problems created from a lack of transparency in political processes.

Representable is a relatively small startup environment in which I took on a lot of different design roles. I was able to work in the following areas: 

• Logo Design
  

• UX/UI Design
  
• Graphic Design
  
• Usability Research
• Accessibility Research

My favorite part about working at Representable was being able to work so closely with both community acitivists and software engineers. In a small startup environment, there are a lot of opportunities for translation between different languages and modes of thinking. As a designer, I really expanded my communication skills and understanding of the different needs in the non-profit world and website development sphere. I learned to advocate for the needs of the user when there are many different stakeholders in the project.
