Hi! I’m Whitney.

UX Designer, Recruiter, Optimist

I’ve spent the last seven years as a Recruiter at Amazon helping people get life-changing jobs and advocating for a stellar candidate experience. My favorite part about my job as a Recruiter is being an advocate for my candidates when decisions are being made that directly impact their interview experience. My candidates are just like my users in a UX project- they’re not in the room to speak for themselves, so it’s my responsibility to make sure their needs are heard. This is why I find UX Design so exciting- user needs can be overlooked among other business goals, but as a UX Designer it’s my duty and pleasure to make design decisions centered around user needs.

In my spare time I enjoy taking pilates classes, tending to my small army of houseplants, and visiting my twin sister in sunny Los Angeles.
