About Lacie Wilson

I am a product designer in the Portland metro area with a drive to produce a user interface that is both intuitive and engaging. I have a degree in computer science and completed an apprenticeship in UI/UX research, design, and development. This background allows me to understand every layer of an application and the development process. I am driven by the visual and I understand how a user interface can affect a user\'s willingness to use an application. I find iterative design, testing, and research to be invaluable to the success of the design and development process.
