Laura fell in love with technology 20 years ago when she saw her first usability test. Since then, she’s been an engineer, designer, and product manager, helping companies of all sizes learn about their users so they can build products people enjoy using. She’s the author of Build Better Products (Rosenfeld Media ’16) and UX for Lean Startups (O’Reilly Media ’13). She rants with Kate Rutter about design, product management, startups, and growth on a podcast called What is Wrong with UX.
