AMANDA NGUYEN

Amanda Nguyen is a silly little digital product designer currently crafting digital experiences across web and iOS at Allbirds (yes, they are as comfortable as people say they are)... Growing up as a child and grandchild of refugees, I learned quickly that-whether intentional or not-certain products, services, and spaces were not created to be used by certain populations. Seeing my grandparents struggle to use the freshly-installed self-checkout or helping my mom use her new iPhone on a weekly basis made me question why so much innovation and beautiful solutions exist, but none of it seemed to help my ong ngoai complete what he intended to do-and that is sometimes as simple as buying apples at the grocery store... * approaching digital product design with a humanity-centered and compassion-first perspective
