As an aspiring UX Researcher and Designer, I hold a Master's
degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Indiana University Indianapolis, with a notable 3.96 GPA.
In my previous role as a UX Research Assistant at IU RedLab, I contributed to developing live indoor tracking web mapping technology for first responders, enhancing both user experience
and operational efficiency.
Recently, I collaborated with my teammates to redesign a learning platform for youth with disabilities on a project for Transition Discoveries. Our concept of reimagining the user interface of the current website and integration of AI to elevate user experience earned us the "Best in Show" title at the IU Capstone Panel Presentation 2024

A quick peek into my user-centric strategies and design approach
01. Grasping the Challenge
Begin with a deep dive into the problem space, thoroughly understanding the context and objectives. Identify the key issues and align them with broader business goals and user needs, laying a solid foundation for targeted, impactful design solutions.
What's the real problem and where it all begun?
04. Developing Ethical & Inclusive prototypes
Commit to ethical and inclusive design principles throughout the process, ensuring solutions are accessible and equitable. In the prototyping stage, experiment with these inclusive concepts, refining them iteratively based on user feedback to achieve a balance of form, function, and accessibility.
Are we solving it for everyone equally?
02. Diving into the User World
Adopt a dual approach of problem understanding and empathy. Engage deeply with user stories to step into the users’ world, gaining a clear perspective on their experiences, challenges, and aspirations.
Who are our users and what they do?
05. Evaluating & Refining
Conduct comprehensive user testing to validate prototypes and gather essential feedback. This phase is central to the iterative design process, focusing on refining and enhancing the solutions based on real user interactions and experiences.
Is it working, and if not, how can we improve it?
03. Ideating Evidence-based solutions
Utilize user stories to inform data-driven analysis of behavioral patterns. This insight mining reveals hidden user needs and opportunities. In collaborative ideation sessions, blend creativity with strategic thinking to forge innovative, viable and user-focused design concepts.
How can we generate ideas to influence user behavior?
06. Narrating the Design Journey
Wrap up the process by narratively presenting your design journey. Articulate the story through visualizations and user narratives, highlighting not just the final product but the entire creative journey - the decisions, iterations, and insights that culminated in the final design.

THE SHIFT
Structures to Screens : Navigating the Transition from Architecture to the World of User Experience
Transitioning from architecture to UX design, I found a deep connectoin between these fields. In architecture, I honed the art of creating spaces that resonate emotionally and functionally with people. This expertise proved invaluable in UX design, where I now craft engaging digital experiences grounded with same ideologies. Emphasizing empathy, whether designing a building or a webpage, has always been crucial.
Digital designs, unlike static architectural structures, require continuous iteration, offering a canvas for constant innovation, sharpening my dynamic thinking. My ability to balance aesthetics with functionality has grown, making me a versatile designer who prioritizes empathy and impactful solutions. This journey has not only broadened my skill set but also deepened my understanding and significance of user’s perspective.
