What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my user research skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative product development and user experience enhancement.

With over 7 years of experience as a researcher and more than 4 years dedicated to user research, I have developed a deep understanding of user behaviors and preferences. My work at AIENAI involves conducting foundational and evaluative research to enhance group travel planning applications. I collaborate closely with designers and product managers to ensure that user insights inform feature design and prioritization.

In my previous role at Griot Studios, I led research studies that identified user pain points, resulting in product redesigns that significantly improved user satisfaction. My expertise in human-centered design and behavioral insights has allowed me to convert research data into actionable insights, guiding the development of user-friendly products and services.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in user research to create impactful experiences that resonate with users. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and improvement in the field of user experience.
