UX Research & Product Design

Where research turns into a decision.

Trained in psychology, I look for where people hesitate, misread, or give up, and use that to shape what actually gets built.

About

Psychology first. Design as a result.

My background is in psychology, and I've always been curious about why people hesitate, what they misread, and what makes them trust something enough to use it. That question followed me into HCI, and now into product design.
