View Case Study →My path into UX started with psychology — I've always been drawn to understanding why people do what they do, and what makes an experience feel effortless versus frustrating. I earned my B.S. in Psychology from UC Irvine in 2020, then returned to complete my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and Design at UCI in 2025.
Before grad school, I worked as a web and graphic designer at a consulting firm, which sharpened my visual fundamentals and gave me hands-on experience designing under real client constraints. I'm now focused on work that blends strong interaction design with rigorous evaluation — especially where accessibility and inclusion are at stake.
Understanding users, business goals, and the problem space through research, interviews, and competitive analysis.
Synthesizing insights into clear problem statements, user flows, and design principles that guide every decision.
Iterating from low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes, testing assumptions at every stage.
Handing off polished, developer-ready specs and staying close through implementation to ensure the vision is realized.
I'm open to full-time roles and freelance contracts in UX research and design — especially work that blends interaction design with strong evaluation. I'll get back to you within 48 hours.
