Hello there.
It’s great bumping into you!
My name is Ondine. (That’s “OHN-deen.” Interesting story actually. When you have time, read all about the mythological and storied undines from which my name comes in this Britannica article.)
I’m a UX designer, audience researcher, creative problem-solver, and principled trouble-maker. I’m also a dance artist, small dog-owner, buttery-biscuit-maker, and world traveler.
Where have I been all your life?!
I’m a UX researcher & designer with a focus on the arts, nonprofits, and solving for social-good. My experience in people and project management in nonprofits, the arts, and academia has taught me how to communicate effectively, lead teams, manage stakeholders, and solve problems. As an artist, I deeply understand the importance of storytelling, collaboration, and connecting with an audience, and I know how to create experiences that engage and move people. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of human behavior, I bring a fresh perspective to the UX process. As well, I strive to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in all the spaces I inhabit.
User Experience Design
I’ve formally studied UX Design & UX Research at University of Colorado Boulder’s ATLAS Institute and CareerFoundry.
Design Thinking
I completed a certificate in Design Thinking through IDEO-U and was invited to serve as an alumni coach, helping to train others.
Sociology
I have a BA in Sociology and continue to be enthralled by people, systems & societies.
People & Project Management
I am an experienced manager of people and projects in both large bureaucracies and small, scrappy organizations.
Community Engagement
I have created and directed community engagement programs for a range of organizations.
Experience Design
I’ve been devising and performing original experiences for live audiences for more than two decades.
Art, Dance & Technology
I have a MFA in Dance. I create and perform work that fuses technology & dance, and I have shown work nationally and internationally.
But enough about me.
I want to hear about you.
