I graduated from Drexel University in June 2018 with a degree in Interactive Digital Media. I have a passion for creating enjoyable, user-friendly experiences and currently work as a UX Researcher at Kaiser Permanente in the Los Angeles area but have also worked as a UX Designer at Oracle. My work in design and research at Oracle lead me to finding out that research was what interested me the most about UX design.
My love for user research comes from my philosophy of design, which is that it is impossible to know whether your design will be successful unless you understand your users’ needs and adapt your design to them. Designers need to test a wide and diverse range of users to get feedback and incorporate that feedback into their designs.
Besides UX, some of my other hobbies include traveling, rollerskating, playing volleyball and singing. I lived in England for three and a half years and was lucky enough to be able to visit many different places, such as Dubai, one of my all time favorites, and that has fueled my love for travel ever since. My homepage background image is the Borderless TeamLab interactive technology exhibit in Japan that I visited in June 2018 as part of my graduation trip. It was an incredible experience, with technology being used in ways you’d never expect such as projections onto trampolines that made it seem as if you were jumping in outer space! If you ever get the chance to see a TeamLab exhibit, I highly recommend it.
That’s just a bit about me! I’d love to make connections in the UX community, so please feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or email!
