A little About myself
Ever evolving product designer.
Hello, my name is Taira Perrault, and I am a Product Designer that works remotely from the Finger Lakes Region in New York State.
I work for RVO Health, a joint venture between Red Ventures and United Health Group's Optum Health joint venture. I determine the site experience for Healthline.com, Greatist.com, MedicalNewsToday.com, and Psychcentral.com. As well as maintain the Design System that my creative team uses to ensure that they can all work quickly and efficiently.
In my free time, I love to try and learn new things. I am always up for a new workshop where I can create something with my hands or go out for a new adventure exploring.
Three words that best describe me: are passionate, dedicated, and kind.
