Hi there, I'm Staci.

I'm based along the coast of California. I currently design parts of the Windows operating system at Microsoft. My foundation comes from my B.S. in Cognitive Science (Design & Interaction) and leadership from running student communities at Figma and UC San Diego. I prototype fast, explain decisions simply, and balance function with aesthetics.
