I'm Lydia, a product designer with a research background. I studied Psychology and Linguistics at UC Berkeley, did research in three language and child development labs, and went on to work with children with autism on their communication skills. I design for whether people actually understand.

Most recently I was the sole product designer at Stell, an engineering platform for aerospace and defense teams. I worked alongside a team of seven, mostly engineers, and coded my designs into feature branches for engineering review. Before that, I worked with LG Electronics, Omnisynk AI, Roster, and others across social, EV, and e-commerce.
