About

Hi! I’m Lianna and I am a UX designer at ECS, a government consulting company.

Before becoming a UX designer, I was a nurse for almost 10 years, but I constantly felt a desire to do more.

My first introduction to design occurred when my (now) husband and I moved to Bali to try and start our own ecommerce business. Without knowing the name for the industry at the time, I dipped my toes into the waters of design through building a product and brand from scratch. This experience showed me that by building something that is both useful and desirable, you can make a difference in people’s everyday lives.

Throughout my career in nursing, I was able to make an impact on the individual lives of the patients I worked with, but often found myself wondering how I could make an impact on a larger scale. Design is the perfect intersection of my passions for helping others and innovation. My nursing skills of empathy and critical thinking help me understand a person’s motivations, needs, and pain points so I can develop creative and intuitive solutions.

When I’m not designing, you can find me playing with my dog, Nala, reading a good book, or trying out a new restaurant.
