Designer, strategist, builder

I help teams find out what’s worth building and build it well.

With my roots in marketing and business, I’m a product designer who operates like a PM. Currently building AvyLab.

Kevin FosterHead of Engineering, MakerSights · 2024

During her time at MakerSights, Ly negotiated with engineers over what to build and what to cut, always collaboratively, reasonably, and scientifically.

As the only designer on our large engineering team for years, Ly often advocated for a direction alone against the group, listening to counterarguments and bringing them to a good conclusion. She is calm yet tenacious, and was key to delivering the best user experience we could during our complete application rewrite.

I like figuring out something new

Arriving somewhere unfamiliar and figuring it out is a challenge I enjoy. I've done it in design, in moving countries, and in the mountains, where most of my free time goes. AvyLab came out of that, as a way to solve a problem for my own community.
