Hey there!

I'm an Experience Researcher, Designer and Coder

I am an aspiring experience researcher and designer passionate about creating compelling experiences. My interests are in sustainable, accessible, value-sensitive and critical design. With a background in Computer Science and Engineering, I aim to shape the development of a space where design and technology function together to resolve real human problems, build a promising future through creative interactions and bring a smile to every individual.

My Story

I am currently a Master's student at Indiana University Bloomington gaining professional practice in the area of Human-Computer Interaction Design. Before my Masters, I did my Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering and worked over 4 years as Software Developer at SAP Labs building applications for the Business Intelligence and Analytics products. As a User Interface developer, I identified my passion for User Experience during my interactions with the UX team, which guided me to my graduate education. My everyday life now includes lots of collaboration, thinking, thinkering, making, strategizing, presenting and learning from clients, professors and my colleagues.

Last summer I interned at Zoro as a UX Researcher and Designer, working towards improving the shopping experience of the e-commerce platform. It was one of the most valuable experiences I’ve had and I made valuable contributions to the research, design, and strategy. Currently, I am part of the UX Office at Indiana University assisting the team with user research, usability testing, and design to improve the student and staff experiences.

I believe designing for good, "I strive to understand people's needs, not superficial or cosmetic needs, but what do people actually need to thrive, do better work, be closer to other people and become better humans in the society" (credits to my Professors).
