Melody Acosta

Hello!

My name is Melody and I discover patterns and create innovative solutions by understanding how users think.

I am a trained psychotherapist and have held positions as a School Social Worker, Family Therapist and Mental Health Clinician facilitating both group and individual sessions. This experience, along with a research background and B.A. in Philosophy, has strengthened critical thinking skills which help to cut to the core of any challenging problem. I approach design from a humanistic perspective, defining existing journeys to improve experiences. By discovering the intersection between business and user goals, I create wireframes and high fidelity mockups, which are then tested by real people.

When I am not designing, I enjoy painting, tending to my urban garden, spending time my pet skink named Unity, and watching post-apocalyptic TV shows.
