I'm a Product & UX/UI Designer residing in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Here are a few things you should know about me:

• Currently, I work as a Product Designer at iRhythm Technologies, a medical/health technology company, and am responsible for the mobile app that guides our patients’ journeys.

• I have a background in Psychology which has helped me dive deep into the human mind, thoughts, behaviors and motivations.

• Design is a career I transitioned into back in 2018 and prior to that, one of my favorite roles involved improving the learning experience of new hires at Facebook (currently, Meta). I learned more about the value of a good user experience while navigating learning portals and uncovered many problems that kept our audience from having a delightful and seamless experience in their learning journey.

• My hunger for impact and empathy towards people have always guided my research and design process.

• Being an excellent communicator with all levels of leadership, I am able to speak confidently and passionately about my ideas and design decisions.

• I love giving back to my Design community in any way I can and I do that by mentoring UX/UI students at Springboard (tech-focused online learning platform) while also offering free ad-hoc portfolio, resume and general design/UX feedback to upcoming and junior Designers within the community.

• As a big believer in work-life balance, I give my free time to meditation, yoga, rock climbing, dance, cooking, music festivals/concerts, spending time in the outdoors, having quality time with friends/family, traveling, playing with my cat and reading/listening to podcasts.

I'm always trying to find interesting projects to work on and meet people over coffee/virtually to talk design. Shoot me a message at sharon.pothan@gmail.com and let’s make it happen!
