Hi, my name is Paola.*

I'm a user experience designer based in Long Beach, California. I've been designing in some form or another for 20 years and find myself being most passionate about solving complex problems that help make the world more equitable. My strengths lie in designing thoughtful, strategic, and tactical end-to-end experiences. I'm particularly interested in how ethical design is applied in practice and how it can scale to meet team or business demands. I thrive when taking products from 0 to 1, ambiguity is my jam.
