Cynthia Hall


Senior UX Writer - UX Designer - Design Systems

About

I write and design for people.I have the natural ability learn, adapt, and respond very quickly, partly due to being a lifelong gamer. My user empathy comes from being a user myself, taking that experience to develop and communicate solutions that will help both users and the organization. I’m constantly paying attention to games and tech at large to get ahead of new trends and tools.For example, I spent a week learning python to code my own text-to-speech AI VTuber. Why? Because I wanted to play around with the ChatGPT API, and all the chatbot code repos I found didn't do anything close to the human-like complexity I wanted for my Twitch streams.(Please don't ask to review that code—I'm no engineer, and it's guaranteed to deal heavy psychic damage. At least it works beautifully despite the code.)Although I'm an all-rounder as UX design goes, I often focus on UX writing and interface improvements due to my extensive editing, UX, and product knowledge. My breadth of experience and ability is what led to a seat as a founding member of the Core UI Design System team at Twitch.I remained the only UX writer in the organization during my 8-year Twitch tenure, working on copy and UX/UI directly with UXD, UXR, Marketing, Monetization, Legal, Partnerships, Platform, and Customer Experience.
