Hi, I'm Agatha :)
My Background
I’m a UX designer based in NYC with a passion for understanding people and their stories.
My deep curiosity for human behavior compelled me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. While earning my degree, I volunteered as a research assistant and worked for Philadelphia’s Children's Crisis Treatment Center in their therapeutic nursery. Further, I have spent the last six years working in the service industry where each daily interaction continues to teach me more about the complexities of human interaction/relationships.
​
Psychology and hospitality have allowed me to explore my innate curiosity for the human experience. However, I knew neither of these paths would be sustainable for me as a career. I am deeply creative and strive to solve problems. I quickly learned that UX design would nurture these sides of me.
As a UX designer, I leverage my passion for human psychology while tapping into my creativity and problem-solving skills in order to create intuitive human-centered solutions.
My Values
Have fun
I take on every challenge with a mindset of ease and fun. It allows me to be flexible in my approach and I have found that the best ideas are uncovered when you are able to lift restrictions in your thinking.
​
Stay Curious
I love that there will always be something I do not know. Learning is what keeps life interesting and I prioritize feeding my curiosity.
​
Live authentically
My goal each day is to live being true to who I am. This brings me a sense of peace and allows me to show up for everyone around me in the best way possible.

If you meet me outside of work you’ll know that I love a sweet treat, tattoos, knick-knacks, and a good walk in the park. Day to day I take time to stay present and grounded. For me this looks like meditation, cooking, reading and laughing. Thank you for reading this far, if any part of my story resonates with you let’s chat! :)
