Alisha (Moore) Padolsky

Alisha is a UX Designer currently working in the curiously complex spaces of software for IBM in Austin, TX.

She has a knack for taking ambiguous, complex problems and finding the obvious (yet not at all obvious) solutions. She uses a breadth of skills to contribute to the entire product lifecycle — research, ideation, journey mapping, visual & interaction design, prototyping, and success metrics.

Though none of her designs are featured in museums or heralded for saving lives, she cares about why we build things and the effects of technology on society. She believes it is our job to consider the impact of every decision we make to ensure that what is built and designed is ethical, inclusive, equitable, and accessible for anybody to use.

Aside from designing, she's a powerful daydreamer, DEI advocate, podcast producer for "It's about time" presented by IBM, and snack connoisseur.
