Student UX Designer & Researcher exploring how thoughtful design meets real user needs.
passion and profession
I am a creative person at heart. Mixing this in with an empathetic mindset and a tech-savvy persona, I have felt naturally drawn to the field of UX.
My career aspiration focuses on real, impactful improvements.
I want to show others the importance of applying heuristic thinking into their existing products by making a positive impact on their accessibility and efficiency.
This means discovering existing pain points and designing better solutions that support distributed cognition and user flexibility.
Through these reworks, I want to see the products I work on reach their best potential.
