I'm Teaghan, an experience designer based in the Bay Area
with a passion for creating seamless and delightful user experiences. I especially enjoy working on design systems that help bring order to complexity.
When I’m not dabbling in design, you can find me playing backgammon, cooking with friends, listening to live music, or deeply immersed in a book.
Journey to UX
Driven by deep-seated empathy and a thirst for social change, I spent my early career in youth advocacy and immigration law, advocating for marginalized communities and using my Spanish fluency on a daily basis. These experiences profoundly shaped my perspective and continue to inform my commitment to purposeful, accessible design.
After several years in the tech world, I transitioned into design as a way to approach problems in a critical, creative, and visual way, merging my love for aesthetics and people with my interest in problem-solving. Through a blend of artistry and intentionality, I aim to help people and create solutions that improve lives.
