Hello again, I’m Rebecca! I’ve been working as a UX designer at Oracle Restaurants for over two years. I’ve worked on Oracle’s next-generation point-of-sale product, helping restaurant staff navigate complex menus and enter orders quickly.

My process involves exploring multiple approaches and iterating quickly based on feedback. When there are uncertainties while designing, I get a second pair of eyes on my work. It can be a user who can test how well the design supports their workflow, a product stakeholder who can provide more context to the problem, or a fellow designer who may approach the solution differently. Design is collaborative, and I try to validate and share my work often with others.

I studied Cognitive Science and Business at Rice University. I enjoy thinking about how other people think–what drives them, what they’re trying to accomplish, and how I can improve their experience.

While at Rice, I was president of Rice Design, a club that celebrates digital designers. Coming from a school that doesn’t offer many formal design resources, I was motivated to make design more accessible and build a community for students. I started the Rice Design-a-thon, an event connecting student designers across the country.

Outside of work, you can find me reading fiction, jamming out to Taylor Swift, or spending time outdoors.
