Hi, I’m Paula Cusack. I’m a UX/UI designer and researcher who loves turning complex workflows into clear, accessible experiences. I enjoy partnering with cross-functional teams to ship products that feel intuitive and delightful, from SaaS platforms to collaborative meeting spaces and games. I’m always learning and exploring how AI tools can augment the design process, while keeping people at the heart of what I create. Beyond day-to-day design, I write in-game copy, run inclusive user testing sessions, and mentor teams through discovery and delivery. I recently completed an AI for Designers program with a top-10% distinction and enjoy collaborating with teams across Turkey, Norway, the USA, and beyond to shape products people love to use.…Hi, I’m Paula Cusack.
