Linnea Smolentzov

As a UX researcher at Fell Swoop, Linnea’s goal is to bring a user focus to a wide variety of projects. She earned her Master’s in Applied Psychology from Clemson University’s Human Factors Department. Her thesis focused on aging in place—enabling elderly people to remain in their homes longer rather than moving to assisted living—universal design, and understanding how to design furniture for hospitals and in-home use. Previously, she spent almost four years at Microsoft, studying various input models and conducting user research for the version of Office for touch devices.
