HUMAN BEHAVIORS ARE MULTIFACETED.
THEY NEED MORE THAN ONE PERSPECTIVE TO BE UNDERSTOOD.
As a UX researcher with expertise in psychology and human-computer interaction, I strive to gain a comprehensive understanding of user needs and behaviors by triangulating quantitative and qualitative research methods.
I’ve been always intrigued by how emerging technologies are transforming our daily lives. Recently, I’m studying ML algorithms to enhance my research capabilities for AI products.
As a true Seattleite at heart, I enjoy hiking, board gaming, and wine tasting. I'm proud to have earned a WSET Level 2 wine certification with distinction!
