Hi! I'm Autumn.

I am a UX researcher, currently working in Ed Tech. I have an educational background in Spanish and HCI, and a passion for creating delightful, usable, and accessible experiences for the things we use everyday.  This portfolio outlines some of the work I've done so far in my professional and academic career.
