She became passionate about experience design after her brother suffered a brain injury that impact his ability to use technology designed to help him. She witnessed how his successes emboldened him to take control of his experience and independence. This drove Pippa to examine how design determines interaction for different people and how this subsequently affects personal experiences. As a designer, she aims to balance aestheticism with research to engender inclusivity and awareness.

To brighten her days, she goes on mini-ventures with her daughter, runs with her dog, or sits at a cafe and enjoy a good coffee. She regularly rewatches Buffy the Vampire Slayer and frequents  K-Town as a reason to practice her language skills. At the end of the day, she is on the couch eating something delicious she “discovered” at Trader Joe's.
