From Psychology to User Experience
From Psychology to User Experience
I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023, majoring in Psychology. While shadowing a psychiatrist, I observed the challenges faced by patients in communicating medication side effects to their physician after visits, largely due to a poorly designed mobile app. This made me realize that a product needed to be accessible and user-friendly for a diverse group of people, which inspired my transition into UX design. With a background in psychology, I have developed strong qualitative and quantitative research skills, along with a deep understanding of human behavior and cognition. Considering my lifelong passion for art and design, I have discovered a profession that seamlessly integrates analytical thinking with creative expression. I am driven to shape user experiences that prioritize accessibility and promote equitable outcomes for all.
Outside of work, I love traveling, exploring natural landscapes, trying new cuisines, experimenting with recipes, reading novels, and immersing myself in music.
