About me
AUNSARA DENNIS
I’m a Washington, DC–based product designer who creates thoughtful, scalable, user-first experiences that solve real problems. A former college athlete turned designer, I bring the same discipline, resilience, and team-first mindset to every product challenge—usually with a strong cup of coffee in hand.
I started my career as a graphic designer, which sharpened my eye for craft before I expanded into strategy, research, and systems thinking. I love turning complex challenges into elegant, intuitive solutions that drive real business impact—and when I’m not designing, I’m probably traveling somewhere new, finding inspiration (and good espresso) along the way.
