Hello! I'm Ashley. I'm a multidisciplinary designer exploring how UI/UX research and service design intersect to create socially conscious solutions. I'm often described as a critical thinker and independent learner, and I believe that while design should be grounded, it should also be curious, discursive, and always a little bit fun.
