Say “Cheese” !
I am a Founding Designer at TAP, building the design from 0 to 1 to empower advanced manufacturers to evaluate and traintechnicians at unprecedented scale and speed. Before this, I was a Product Designer at Microsoft Research, and a UX Designer at Sonos. I rub plenty of love into everything I make.
I studied Interactive Media Arts and HCI. Therefore, I have developed a diverse skillset and philosophy to make meaningful designs in academics and industry. I cultivate empathy through user research, bring out ideas through iterations of ideation and prototyping, and scale products through systems thinking.
Outside of design, I strive to live my life to the fullest.
I play guitar in an all-female band
As the guitarist of the band Calico, I am having so much fun hanging out with my girls, playing gigs in random bars across Seattle.
I spent 6 months learning mountaineering
Having lived in the PNW for 5+ years, I decided to step up my game and explore what was not accessible to me before. I treasure the friendship I made along the way. Being close to nature makes me feel at peace.
I am a cat mom!
Nothing gives me more joy than spending time with my cat <3
Nobody can tell I dance, but I do
I started ballet training when I was 5. In hindsight, I regret making 100 excuses to quit when I was a teenager. I participated as a dancer in some art projects and I truly treasure the experience.
A perfect representation of my capacity to dance: I am the person on the floor :)(2020 | The Leaving Room, by Aly Rose)
