About Me

Arla (she/her)

Last year I graduated from Olin College, a small, project-based engineering school, with a degree in Product Design. In the last four years I’ve worked on and led projects related to sustainability, political action, responsible governance, and data accessibility as a researcher and designer. I also have experience leading collaborative, interdisciplinary teams as a project manager. Most recently, I've been working as a UX researcher with the Democratic National Committee.

 

I’m happiest at the crossroads between technical tools and intentional design processes, and love getting into the complexities of people and changemaking.
