Hi! I'm Paige!
I am NNG Master UX Certified and recently named one of "37 active UX leaders to follow on LinkedIn in 2025" by User Interviews.com. I am an experienced Senior UX researcher with a background in anthropology and community-based participatory action research. I have training in design thinking and participatory/qualitative methodologies and am particularly passionate about the health and wellness industries. I believe in the power of research (and especially participatory research) to create positive change for communities through empathy, storytelling and human-centered data. I am entering the University of Baltimore in January 2026, working towards my M.S. in interaction design and information architecture! I am only seeking part-time work at this time due to coursework.
I live on an island in Washington near Seattle - I regularly enjoy cold water swimming in the Puget Sound (see my blog!). I'm sponsored by my favorite swim gear company, Blue Seventy. I also spend my time painting folk art of my travels, knitting sweaters and hats, hiking, practicing yoga, trail running, backpacking in the mountains and traveling!
I am a part-time art teacher at the Pacific Northwest Art School in Coupeville where I teach people how to knit their first sweater and offer private lessons. My fiber art was also recently displayed at the Island County Art Museum in the "Fabulous Fiber Throughout the Ages" exhibit.

One of the initiatives that stood out most was Paige’s leadership in facilitating a Trauma-Informed Research learning series. She brought sensitivity, structure, and courage to the topic, helping the broader team build awareness and integrate more compassionate practices into our daily work.
Paige’s commitment to quality, collaboration, and empathy makes her an outstanding addition to any research-driven team."
