I'm Lynne Venart, and I'm a user experience researcher working to make the world a better place.
I am a Senior User Experience Designer and Researcher for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum by day, and I save adorable primates by night.
At the Museum, I use my skills in mixed methods UX research, prototyping, and design thinking to understand our audiences and improve digital and physical spaces. As Director of the Lemur Conservation Network, I lead a small nonprofit that supports over 60 conservation organizations working to save lemurs from extinction through education, capacity building, fundraising, and the annual World Lemur Festival.
