About Livia

I began my career as an agency project manager, but quickly realized I was working in the wrong department. After taking night classes at The New School, freelancing, and learning as much as I could on the job, I pivoted to product design and never looked back.

My experience is primarily in joining technical teams that have not previously included a designer. I love setting up design systems, building workflows with engineers, and evangelizing design thinking.

I grew up in southwestern Connecticut (basically Stars Hollow), and currently live in Brooklyn with my partner and my cat Lulu.

Things not on my resume:

• Here are some things I’ve knit

• I double majored in German (my mom was born there)

• I’ve been writing short stories since I was a little kid. I studied creative writing in college and have been a writing mentor at Girls Write Now since 2016.

• There’s no O

• I like climbing, gardening, volunteering, and drinking hot sauce
