Livia Abuls is a Design Leader located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I am a home chef, outdoor adventurer, and currently a Lead Product Designer at EverBright – an integrated software and financing solution for the future of whole-home energy efficiency.
6+ years of design experience, I specialize in translating complex challenges into elegant, user-centered solutions through research-informed design and clear strategy. I believe the best design happens where user needs, business goals, and adaptable teams meet.
ℹ️ I am currently open to new opportunities, collaborations, and mentorship requests.

About Livia
My first career was in marketing and communications, during which I managed the architecture and content for 15 public school websites. That experience sparked my interest in UX and has lead me to a dynamic design career in impact-driven spaces.
Outside of work you can find me on the hunt for Milwaukee's best wine bar (Nonfiction is the current winner), learning about backcountry avalanche safety with AIARE, and incessantly asking questions of myself and those around me (let's be real, I do this at work too).
If any of this sounds interesting to you, shoot me a note and in the words of one of my favorite bands, Ripe, say "hey, hello".
