Ascend Cargo Systems
Designed a logistics platform from scratch in 8 months as the only designer. Our first client signed before launch.
Read the story →I'm Lauryn. I design and research products, most of them from nothing. I've been the only designer at a startup, improved an enterprise system used across 200+ buildings, and designed a platform for military mothers.
I start with what people actually do.I watch people use the product, and I push for analytics so we can see what happens on the screen, not just what people tell us.
See it in Ascend →I tie decisions back to research.Anyone should be able to see where a change came from.
See it in CMI →I design for the messy cases.The guest with no ID, the location that works differently, the person juggling three tasks at once.
See it in Guest Management →I also use AI tools like Claude and Claude Code to prototype and test ideas quickly.
See it in the CMI recall feed →I'm looking for senior and lead UX Designer roles, hybrid or remote.
