My name is Audrey Fernandez and I’m a UX Designer with a strong research background. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, so I’m driven by the idea that design thinking can be used to improve the world we live in. I earned a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction & Design to complement my professional experience and become more well-rounded.
When not designing, you can find me watching films or TV, reading novels, dancing salsa and bachata, listening to R&B and hip hop, or traveling.
what it’s like to work with me
“Audrey is my right-hand go-to for various UX research and design projects—both internal projects that have made a huge difference for our team and client facing projects. One example of a significant project, which made the biggest impact on our workflow, required a complete overhaul of sensitive client credential data. […] Her deep empathy in understanding our need from the onset, and checking in at each step of her process, made the change management not just painless but joyous! We were thrilled to use the solution Audrey designed, the documents, and the system she helped us implement. Audrey’s UX design skills and leadership truly made this a delightful project for us. It has saved us hundreds of hours over the past year and we have 100% adoption.”–Ani Mercedes

“As Audrey’s mentor over the course of her internship, I’ve had the opportunity to observe her design, research, and decision-making ability up close. I have seen Audrey excel in very quickly getting up to speed on the Content Builder space and its complicated history in order to identify the appropriate steps for the internship project. She has done a great job in being able to articulate this project space to stakeholders and the rest of her team in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that everyone is onboard with the work. […] Audrey is very flexible and open to feedback which has allowed her to accommodate the intern development team’s limitations while still meeting stakeholder and end users’ needs. […] Overall, I feel that Audrey brought a wonderful thoughtfulness to the team and exhibited this through her work as well as interpersonal interactions.” –Yiran Buckley
