Hi, I am Lily!
Product UX Designer

“Lily is one of the most creative, energetic, fun, hardworking designers I know. I was amazed to see the level of skill and passion she brought to our team at 7-Eleven, and even more amazed to watch her grow professionally and personally while we worked together. Aside from her product design work (which is top-notch) I enjoyed working with Lily as a writing partner, publishing our peer-reviewed article on UX strategy in Volume 7 of the Journal of Digital & Social Media Marketing. I also was privileged to co-present and run workshops with Lily at several UX conferences and industry events, where I saw her communication skills and confidence in public speaking grow from good to great. Any design organization would be improved 10x by adding Lily to their team.!”

- Ben Judy. UX Senior Manager The Home Depot

"Lily Bather is a fantastic UX Designer, Design Thinker, and SME. Her ability to take complex scenarios, flows, problems and translate them in a simple and clear way speaks to her strength as a communicator. Lily is truly a UX generalist and is comfortable wearing a UX Research, Architect, or Designer hat. Her personality is upbeat and positive and her ability to focus on the real challenge at hand makes her a team motivator. Lily is always looking for the right questions to ask and for ways to validate her UX design solutions. She would be the perfect addition to any team looking for someone that can deliver elegant and high converting experiences."

- Michael Tinglin. Head of Design Atlassian

"Lily's designs are high quality, insightful and empathetic. Her portfolio is solid.
But, here's an actual story that happened.
Group Executive: "Here's a plan..."
Lily: "In this specific case, this user's experience will be bad, they'll be frustrated, and probably will not come back."
Group Executive: "That's an edge case that will happen less than 3% of the time."
Lily: "Well, my job is to advocate for the user, all users, and that's what I'm doing here."
It was a beautiful, powerful, and inspiring moment that speaks to Lily's character and relentless focus on the user, all users.

- Ben Guthrie. Sr Product Manager 7-Eleven

"Lily is a well-rounded and talented designer with a true passion for user experience. She is well-versed in the UX process and understands how to confidently apply it to complex challenges in fast-paced business environments. I had the opportunity to work with her for 3 years while on the UX team at 7-Eleven.

In the 3 years we worked together, I collaborated with her on many different types of digital projects – from loyalty programs, to e-commerce apps, to autonomous delivery services. Each of these projects presented uniquely different design challenges. She always proved to be a versatile designer by effortlessly switching from one project to the next while consistently delivering great design outcomes. She also showed personal career growth over the years we worked together by transitioning from an individual contributor to a team lead responsible for mentoring and directing junior/mid-level designers.

Her presentation skills are outstanding. During our time at 7-Eleven, she regularly presented to leadership, the design team, and many other departments across the organization. Her presentations were always concise and effectively communicated the intent of her work.

Aside from her day-to-day design work, she exhibited strong leadership skills in her efforts to bring a more design-led culture to 7-Eleven. Some of her efforts included helping to establish 7-Eleven’s first design system, facilitating design workshops, helping to manage our cross-pod share meetings, serving as a mentor for new designers, and organizing/participating in 7-Eleven led community design events.

Beyond her work at 7-Eleven, I was always impressed by how she frequently volunteered her time to speaking engagements at local design events. By doing so, she brought visibility to the UX program at 7-Eleven and strengthened the company’s presence in the design community.

Throughout her hard work in the many areas mentioned above, she has always managed to build and maintain strong working relationships with fellow designers, developers, product managers and stakeholders.

She is a joy to work with, super talented, and a true team player."

- Daniel Lovas. Sr Manager. Atlassian

Lily is an outstanding UX/UI designer. She is innovative and creative in her work. Her “it can be done” attitude always helped the team move forward with passion. She is agile in thinking and focuses on problem-solving. She is so fun to work with and her colleagues miss working with her.
