A little about Lancy

I'm a UX designer with 4 years of experience designing AI and B2B products in defense, real estate, and education. With a software engineering background, I bring a structured, methodical approach to solving complex problems.

I’m driven by a deep curiosity about how people move through the intricate systems of the world. My designs are a kind of love letter, a thoughtful response shaped by the deliberate process of understanding the user’s journey.

As a designer...

  • Research and observation are my core tools. They help me spot patterns in complex systems.
  • I regularly step back to understand how decisions connect across the product and evolve over time.
  • My design decisions come with clear rationale, naming tradeoffs across user, technical, and business needs so the team can make informed calls together.

As a team member...

  • I move work forward with imperfect information, getting early alignment on priorities before things are fully defined.
  • I take ownership through shifting timelines and requirements, adjusting direction without losing momentum.
  • Strong relationships with engineering are essential to how I work. Hand-offs are a myth, so I ask questions early and stay involved through build and QA.

Outside of work...

  •   I’m a board game enthusiast and I’m always happy to teach a new one!
  •   I’m a concert chaser that loves all genres! I’ve seen Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Luke Combs & many others live.
  •   I enjoy serene staycation weekends along the Northern California coastline, especially in Monterey.
