A set of sculptural, matte white presentation boards standing upright on a polished oak conference table with subtle grain patterns, featuring portfolio showcases of UX research findings represented as printed diagrams, wireframes, and flowcharts with precise linework. The boards are spaced evenly, forming a harmonious layout against a neutral-toned wall with minimalistic decor. Ambient studio lighting provides consistent, shadow-free illumination, accenting the clarity and importance of the displayed work. The composition employs a slightly elevated frontal angle and tight framing, creating a refined, focused, and professional mood. The image’s photographic realism and clean, balanced lines echo the structured approach to UX case studies, supporting the portfolio’s authoritative tone.

Mixed-Method UX Researcher

I am a UX Researcher deeply committed to explore how mixed-method research could inform strategy, validate ideas with users, and guide teams from discovery to delivery.

A pristine set of frosted glass whiteboards mounted in a geometric pattern on a smooth charcoal wall, each featuring elegantly drawn UX research diagrams with colored markers and neatly affixed sticky notes in light, subdued hues. Below, an anodized aluminum credenza supports discrete stackable storage boxes and a translucent organizer holding precise writing tools. Diffused, cool-toned artificial lighting highlights the whiteboards without glare, producing subtle reflections and well-defined details. Captured from a side angle using the rule of thirds, the image maintains a sharp foreground and a softly blurred background, creating depth. The mood remains analytical and clean, embodying the disciplined, corporate energy of a professional UX research environment.

Who I am

As a UX Researcher with a PhD degree in Communications and Media, I believe user-centered products have the power to bridge gaps, foster emphathy, and deliver lasting value to the broader community. With this mindset, I specialize in enhancing user experience through mixed-method research, turning observations into measurable product outcomes, and ensuring user-centric solutions to increase stakeholder confidence.
