I am the Lead UX Designer on the Web Team at WMF. I’ve been at WMF since July 2023 and I've designing software as a job for 14 years. Before I started at WMF, I worked on an offline-first, trans-institutional personal finance app, tech for crisis response and the humanitarian sector, as well as developer tools and fintech products.
I am grateful to live, work, and play in Treaty 7 Territory, just east of the Canadian Rockies on the traditional territories of Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, Blood Tribe (Kainai Nation), Piikani Nation, Siksika Nation, Tsuutʼina Nation, and Wesley First Nation.
Session
The internet is changing rapidly, and so is how people discover and consume information. Over the next fiscal year, and into the future, the Wikimedia Foundation is placing more focus on attracting and building meaningful relationships with new readers so that we can protect the future of our movement, ensuring that humans have access to free knowledge for years to come. We wanted to start a discussion on which problems in this space are the most important and brainstorm solutions.
