Graduating from the Nasdaq Accelerator in 2017.
Hey, there! My name is Savina Hawkins.
As a Senior UX Researcher and interdisciplinary thinker, I am passionate about leveraging my broad background in artificial intelligence, design, and technology to create innovative solutions that positively impact the world. Rooted in my posthuman intersectional eco-feminist values, I am committed to advocating for a more inclusive, sustainable, and just world by challenging traditional hierarchies and embracing the interconnectedness of all beings and our environment.
In more accessible terms, this belief system emphasizes the importance of considering the relationships between humans, non-human entities, and the environment when designing technologies and solutions. It recognizes that our experiences are shaped by complex interactions of social, cultural, and ecological factors, and it seeks to address systemic issues by promoting equity, diversity, and ecological sustainability.
With a solid foundation in both education and experience, I am committed to combining the art of creative thinking and strategy with a strong data-driven approach to deliver visionary work that aligns with these values. My focus is on fostering collaboration, empathy, and critical reflection in my work, which allows me to develop innovative solutions that empower diverse communities and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Currently, I am working at Meta as a Senior UX Researcher, conducting mixed-methods research to collaboratively build the future of AI. My focus is on uncovering insights that can inform the development of technology with lasting and scalable positive global impact. This work allows me to apply my unique blend of skills and experience, as well as my posthuman intersectional eco-feminist perspective, to address pressing challenges in the field of AI.
As I continue to work at the intersection of AI, research, and design, I am excited to connect with like-minded professionals and share educational content that can help us all grow together. With a strong focus on participatory design, democratic innovation, and building systems of care, I am driven to make a meaningful impact on the world around me while staying true to my values and belief system
