I am an emerging UX Designer who is ready to solve problems for the greater good.

With a background in public library services, I bring with me the values of lifelong learning, responsible stewardship, and equal access to knowledge and ideas. My design philosophy revolves around helping people find the right information in the right place, and at the right time.

If your team is using design and data to improve people’s lives and make a positive impact in the world, I want to help you. Feel free to get in touch with me via my Contact page or direct email: annesawyerux@gmail.com.
