Lauren Mathieson

About

Over the last nine years, I’ve led designer teams, launched MVPs, and worked on 0-1 product initiatives at startups and large enterprises. I am a product design generalist, working the entire lifecycle from product discovery to prototyping to implementation, focusing on in-depth user research and iterative testing. I’m known for being a strong collaborator, facilitator, mentor, and evangelist. I am open to clients or opportunities with a strong mission or positive societal impact. Government, non-profit, environmental justice, healthcare, or social justice work is a plus. I am available for full-time, part-time, or freelance work.
