Hi, I'm Lena Clark, MPH

Founder & CEO of Sunflower UX

I've built my career helping organizations make better decisions by understanding the people, systems, and experiences behind complex challenges.

From advising senior executives at global companies like Google to working with organizations across technology, healthcare, and education, I've seen how even the most experienced teams benefit from fresh perspectives and the right questions.

That's why I founded Sunflower UX. We serve as a decision partner, combining research, strategic thinking, and creative collaboration to help organizations uncover opportunities, navigate uncertainty, and move forward with confidence.

I believe better decisions start with better conversations, and I love helping teams turn those conversations into meaningful action.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

The Risks of Getting It Wrong

When organizations make decisions without a clear understanding of the people they serve, the consequences can include:

  • Missed Opportunities: Overlooking unmet needs and opportunities for innovation.

  • Wasted Resources: Investing time and money in initiatives that don't deliver the expected value.

  • Misaligned Priorities: Teams working toward different goals or making decisions based on conflicting assumptions.

  • Disconnected Experiences: Creating products, services, or programs that don't reflect what people actually need.

  • Unnecessary Risk: Moving forward with major decisions without the insights needed to make informed choices.

Better decisions aren't just about having more information. They're about asking the right questions, understanding what matters, and knowing how to move forward.

OUR SOLUTION:

Less Guesswork. More Confidence.

We combine research, strategic collaboration, and creative problem-solving to help organizations gain clarity, uncover opportunities, and move forward with confidence.

Uncover What Matters

Go beyond assumptions.

Through research, feedback, and meaningful conversations, we help you understand the people you serve, identify unmet needs, and discover opportunities worth exploring.

Find Clarity in Complexity

Turn insights into direction.

We help teams make sense of information, navigate competing priorities, and align around what matters most so they can make more informed decisions.

Turn Ideas into Action

Move forward with purpose.

From facilitated workshops to strategic recommendations, we help organizations translate insights and ideas into practical next steps that create meaningful impact.

You Don't Have to Figure It All Out Alone.

Whether you're navigating a complex challenge, evaluating a new opportunity, or trying to get your team on the same page, making the right decisions isn't always straightforward.

That's where Sunflower UX comes in. We work alongside founders, executives, and teams to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and bring clarity to decisions that matter.

Sometimes that means uncovering what's not working. Other times, it's bringing stakeholders together, validating an idea before making a major investment, or providing ongoing strategic guidance. Whatever the challenge, we help you understand your options, reduce uncertainty, and move forward with confidence.
