About

Vanessa Eroraha Headshot

I’m a UX Designer and Product Owner who works on complex enterprise systems where users, workflows, and constraints don’t fit neatly together. I’ve led a 25-person interdisciplinary team, worked closely with senior stakeholders, and run usability sessions with over a hundred users. My practice spans UX research, strategy, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, design systems, and technical implementation.

I studied computer science at Virginia Tech, with minors in HCI and psychology, because I wanted to understand how systems are built and how people use them. That combination continues to shape how I approach design, balancing user needs with the realities of technology, development, and the product space. A few projects on this site reflect that background: a maps application I designed and built, and a Spotify concept I designed with a partner.

Outside of work, I abuse my New York Times Games subscription and consume any media in the thriller genre. I like a puzzle or plot that makes me work to find the answer. My ideal day involves making a specialty latte at home, hunting for vintage finds at a flea market, fitting in a gym session or pilates class, and winding down with a good book. I’m working toward reading 25 books this year!
