Laura Janisse and Valerie Vegera lead the Research & Design efforts at Hatch, an internal design and innovation group at Kaiser Permanente that focuses on creating for the future. Specifically, their research is aimed at connecting with and understanding young demographics. They also support Kaiser Permanente's ongoing efforts around responding to covid-19 and equality in the workplace.
Valerie has a (maybe) unhealthy love for oat milk and absolutely loves digging deeper into the ‘why’ of anything and everything. Valerie currently utilizes her propensity for ‘whys,’ her business management background, and her talent with a keyboard to support the research and design efforts for Hatch Group, a design team at Kaiser Permanente that explores new ways of designing for the future based on emerging generational needs.
