Laurel Hechanova

Oakland 🌳 + Guam 🌴

I currently do product design as Goodmaker. Previously, I worked at startups and design agencies doing design and facilitating workshops for clients including Google, Twitter, Art Institute of Chicago, Lonely Planet, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and others. I’ve also taught UX design at General Assembly and helped write the UX design curriculum at Springboard.

When I’m not working, I’m probably reading, trying to finish writing one book instead of starting another, learning about local birds, or walking all the way to some place.

If you’d like to get in touch, you can email [my first name] at [my last name] dot com. Or maybe we can be business friends on the business website.

FYI, Laurel is pronounced luh-REL.
