CASE STUDIES
Hi, I'm Candida
A people focused UX designer with a speciality in qualitative user research
It's good to make pretty things but it's even better to make pretty things that enrich the lives of others. Over the last decade that's exactly what I have strived to do. From Ed Tech to Healthcare I've helped create experiences that make the world a more inclusive and navigable place.​

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I'm a designer on a mission to make good things through collaboration with others.

creates meaningful design
Asking questions and understanding context is fundamental to the design process. It's why I have focused on user research over my career. In my masters program, I explored how design can be used as a tool for tolerance.
