Hey there, 

My name is May, a UX Researcher and strategist by training, and a storyteller at heart. 

I have a motto: I will meet users where they're at and to stay true to their journey, for it is then that I drive meaningful design impact and can successfully evolve the team's understanding of our domain. I promise you that my value is not fully utilized if I'm not helping everyone on the team grow collectively. 

I'm currently assisting UX research at PlayStation, where I'm in the process of acquiring really cool universal toolkits: learning how people learn and what ingredients go into making human interactions fun and engaging! I also have a bottomless magical bag filled with tools from my past lives:

• Product and policy strategy at Manifest MedEX; 

• The art of listening and patient care from UCSF Hospital; 

• Fostering alignment and moderating stakeholder meetings as the Chair of the Berkeley City Health Commission. 

And as a Founder of a student healthcare advocacy organization, I carry with me relentless passion and curiosity to understand how we could empower and ideate for those whom we are trying to serve.  

Happy to connect! If you feel I could add value to the people you're researching or designing for, I'm practically 2 clicks away:
