Hi, I’m Lydia — Ex-Airbnb & Western Union | Designing inclusive, trusted products at scale

I design thoughtful, scalable tools that solve real problems, especially in complex or high-trust spaces.

At Airbnb, I led accessibility initiatives, launching cross-functional programs that improved booking confidence for travelers with limited mobility. On Airbnb’s Open Homes team, I used design research to uncover key insights around refugee housing, helping shape business strategy during a critical growth phase. At Western Union, I worked on future-facing fintech flows, from global transfers to crypto integrations.

I bring clarity to complexity, move fast in 0→1 environments, and thrive in product teams that care about why something works, not just how it looks. I'm excited to join teams building ambitious, human-centered products that scale.
