Hello!

My name is Lauren, and I'm an engineer and designer
based in Austin, Texas.

View My Resume

I am a junior Biomedical Engineering major at the University of Texas at Austin,
and I am pursuing the Elements of Computing and Pre-Health Professions Certificates.

My interests include the integration of UI/UX design with medicine and healthcare, computational biomedical engineering, and tissue and genetic engineering.

During my summer 2023 internship with Biotex, a Houston-based medtech company. I specialized in designing high-fidelity wireframes in Figma for a variety of software platforms. I worked in an agile development environment, where I collaborated closely with engineers to create and develop mockups of my designs and bug test them for flaws. I created UI/UX designs for both web and native mobile devices, and I oversaw the development and deployment of my work.

In 2022, I worked in Dr. Evan Wang's laboratory at UT Austin studying optogenetic methods of mitigating Parkinson's disease symptoms. Under his study, I became familiar with rodent neurosurgery, Rattus norvegicus husbandry, and fiber optic cable implantation.

Finally, I also enjoy being involved on campus. I am the President of the Austin Alt Protein Project, a university organization that focuses on spreading awareness and acceptance of alternative protein initiatives. I work closely with the Good Food Institute to organize UT and joint campus events and promote our mission to the Austin community. You can learn more about us through our Instagram, or by visiting our GFI webpage linked below.

I am a self-taught artist and enjoy learning new techniques and refining my design skills. My eye for detail carries over nicely to UI/UX and product design, and I hope to continue combining my interests in biology and medicine with my passion for design to create beautiful things.

Fun fact: I coded this website myself with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Flask, and Figma! I am always learning and aim to push the limits of what I can do with simple and cheap components, and my portfolio is no exception. Thank you so much for viewing my website and reading my work!
