I'm a UX researcher with a passion for understanding human behavior and creating technology that truly serves people. My background in cognitive psychology and AI literacy allows me to approach design challenges with a unique perspective.

I believe in the power of research-driven design and the importance of building technology that enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them. My work focuses on creating inclusive, accessible, and ethically sound digital experiences.

My Approach

At the core of my work is a deep respect for the human experience. I combine rigorous research methodologies with empathetic understanding to uncover insights that drive meaningful innovation.

I've spent years studying how people interact with technology, particularly at the intersection of psychology and emerging technologies like AI. This unique perspective allows me to bridge the gap between technical capabilities and human needs.

Background

With a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology and specialized training in user research methodologies, I bring both academic rigor and practical experience to my work. I've conducted research across various contexts, from academic laboratories to fast-paced startups and enterprise organizations.

Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work with diverse teams of designers, engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders. These collaborations have taught me how to translate complex research insights into actionable recommendations that drive product success.
