In today's episode we’re going to meet Lara Greenberg, she is currently the Director of UX at Notarize (a Series D company in the legal tech space). She built and now manages an incredible team of product designers, UX researchers, and UX engineers. Aside from growing the team and maintaining a thriving design culture, her work (along with others on her team) includes shaping Notarize's first-ever design system and creating an internal accessibility program. Prior to Notarize, she was a design manager at ezCater (an online marketplace in the food tech space and a "unicorn" Series D company), where she got her start as a design leader. She believes that creating an environment of psychological safety, trust, and warmth is crucial in empowering designers do their best work and in maintaining engaged UX teams.

Before her foray into UX around ten years ago, Lara studied linguistics in college and then obtained a graduate degree in speech-language pathology. She worked as a pediatric speech-language pathologist for several years with a simple mission: to help people find their voices. Lara worked with people with various communicative disorders, including traumatic brain injury, autism, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, etc., and helped them improve their speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. Working with children who use assistive devices to communicate led her to the field of UX, and she strongly believes in the power of technology to enable better communication and connection for people.

Lara co-organizes the Boston chapter of Ladies that UX @ladiesthatuxbos , with her two amazing co-organizers and friends, Olga Perfilieva and Katie Langerman. The group cares deeply about creating inclusive and insightful events for people to learn together, and to celebrate the women and non-binary folks in our field.

When she's not working or planning for LTUX, you can find Lara hiking, trying her hand at close-up magic, watching Star Trek, tending to her (too many) plants, planning her next meal, and practicing her (very) amateur food photography skills. Definitely an amazing lady. Let's meet her?

Can't wait to meet her. Lets begin?!
