About Laurie

What I do

I support teams in the upstream phase and product design:

  • User research (interviews, needs analysis, understanding usage)
  • Product Discovery and exploration of product opportunities
  • Facilitation of scoping and co-design workshops (Design Thinking)
  • Structuring user journeys and information architecture
  • Rapid prototyping to test hypotheses
  • User testing and iterations
  • Interface design (UX/UI) when directions are clarified
  • Close collaboration with product and tech teams


My approach

I have a very clear and product decision-oriented approach:

  • bringing understanding to unclear problems
  • reducing uncertainty before development
  • aligning users, product, and business
  • transforming intuitions into tested hypotheses
  • designing simple, coherent, and maintainable solutions


Expertise

  • Product Discovery
  • UX Research
  • Product Design (UX/UI)
  • Product workshop facilitation
  • Prototyping & user testing
  • Design systems & interface consistency
  • User journey design
  • Web & mobile products


In addition

I am particularly interested in impact products and organizations that seek to reconcile user utility, product vision, and meaning in what they build.

In parallel, I am co-founding a wedding planning agency and I am involved in art direction on various digital projects.
