Kerry Foley
I am a designer focused on building user-centered solutions and creating a more inclusive experience for marginalized users.
With 17 years of experience in educational research, I bring a deep passion for problem-solving and a proven commitment to enhancing learning environments. My ability to inspire and innovate in education seamlessly translates into the field of UX Research, where I can leverage my understanding of human behavior and cognitive processes to create user-centered solutions. I am ready to apply my expertise to drive impactful, user-centered design practices and elevate products and services.
