My Story
I am a UX Researcher with a background in Cognitive Science and
Human-Computer Interaction on a mission to make software and services
make sense to people.
Over the past five years in the UX space, I have worked on some really interesting projects ranging from designing for chatbots, conducting generative research as well as evaluative research for clients.
My mission is to advocate for the importance of understanding human behavior so that we can make better design decisions for our users.
