About

Hi, I’m Auldyn (pronounced like “Alden”)! I’ve been in UX for almost 15 years, focused on embedding technology into social impact fields. I’ve worked mostly in healthcare tech, but now lead the team for UX and Design at IND, a clinical research company operating the largest and longest study on Parkinson’s Disease.

How I can help

My passion for UX and design stems from a vision to incorporate technology thoughtfully and ethically into social impact fields. Today, I lead the UX and Design team for PPMI, the largest and longest study on Parkinson's Disease. Previously, I was a professor at Carnegie Mellon and worked as a UX Designer in healthcare tech. I also really love cats. I have 5. Please ask me about them. :)
