Who am I? 🐛

I'm Larissa (Stephens) Akhmetova, and I'm a UX Designer, illustrator, muralist, and amateur entomologist. I'm also a great public speaker and workshop facilitator. I make people laugh!

I am currently the Lead UX Designer at Kannact, a digital health startup. Prior to that, I completed a contract with Meta as an Open Arts Studio Coordinator, where I facilitated live-streamed workshops for conferences with 1000+ attendees and taught classes specific to VR, Spark AR, comics, and zine-making.

I am also the artist behind Angie Chen's drawings in the indie hit Inbetween Girl (2021) by Mei Makino.
