What I'm looking for

I seek user-centered roles where I can apply mixed-methods research, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration to drive product decisions and measurable user impact.

I am a Human-Computer Interaction researcher and product designer with a B.S. in Psychological & Brain Sciences, combining cognitive science with practical UX skills. I bridge user needs and engineering goals to deliver designs that balance usability and business impact.

My experience includes UX research, usability testing, prototyping (Figma, HTML/CSS, Unity, CAD, Maze), and quantitative analysis using SQL, Python, and R. I have executed user interviews, A/B tests, and large-scale data queries to produce actionable insights and validated product demand.

I have contributed to product teams and research labs, automating workflows, improving sample management processes, and developing high-fidelity prototypes and case studies. I prioritize human-centered methods, clear stakeholder communication, and measurable outcomes.
