What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute human-centered research and UX design skills to work that turns user insights into thoughtful, accessible experiences.

I've supported Google, IPSOS, and public health research through end-to-end diary studies, in-depth interviews, usability testing, journey mapping, recruitment, moderation, and synthesis.

At Turian Labs, I worked across eight Google projects and two IPSOS projects, while also creating highlight videos from narrative and script development through editing. My psychology background informs my human-centered approach to research and reporting.
