I’m Vic- a cultural anthropologist, Human-centered designer and researcher with twelve (12) years experience in design, and nine (9) years in research.My formal art training in traditional media and graphic design from RISD and Ringling influences my design aesthetic and the use of design as a catalyst for storytelling.I later pivoted to cultural anthropology and archaeology. Studying people, environment, adaptation and evolution translates to my current work in Product Design, and UX/UI Design and Research by following the same core inquiries.What did a person or group make?Why did a person or group make it?How does a person or group use it? I understand humans intimately and how we have adapted and evolved with our tools and how they shape our lives; I use decolonized thinking, empathy, systems and design thinking, and core anthropologic research methods to identify problems and find solutions.I am passionate about bringing the Humanity back into ‘user’ experience research, and prioritizing concerns, questions and problems over ‘pain points’; I don’t view people as ‘users’ or assets to be utilized and quantified.I'm seeking a full time role in the Bay Area or remote at a company that does good for people, the planet or animals (or all 3!). I have experience in Healthcare, E-Commerce, SaaS, B2B, Food, Retail and Beer.
