Summary
Louise Whitaker is a Senior User Experience Designer with 11 years of experience crafting accessible, user-centered digital products across consumer and enterprise domains. Currently at Sonos and previously at Best Buy, she partners closely with product, engineering, research, and BI to turn complex problems into testable prototypes and shipped features for mobile and e-commerce experiences. She brings strong research chops—from generative studies and usability testing to building evergreen research templates—and a practical handoff practice that includes specs and accessibility requirements. Louise’s MFA in Interactive Media underpins a rigorous, iterative design approach and an ability to lead cross-functional teams from concept through implementation. A detail that often surprises collaborators: she’s comfortable running both high-fidelity Axure prototypes for academic-grade testing and lightweight prototypes for rapid product discovery.
