Hi, I’m Lauren

📍San Francisco, California

I’m a senior-level UX designer at IBM, where I lead the user experience for watsonx Code Assistant for Z: Code Explanation. From the original interface to the newer chat-based features, I design experiences that make complex AI tooling feel clear, helpful, and human.

I made the switch from development to design in 2019 after realizing my real passion is solving meaningful problems for people. Since then, I’ve led end-to-end UX, built design systems, and helped teams work smarter and more collaboratively.

I believe users aren’t just one persona, they could be a developer, an executive assistant, or even you. That belief keeps me curious and grounded in everything I create.
