Hi, I'm Triana.
I'm a UX/Service Designer and Project Manager based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I specialize in creating simple experiences out of complex processes. I build tools that elevate the impact of public services and couple tech with social good. I'm passionate about designing solutions for people's most fundamental needs and I believe empathy is empowering.
