To me, user research is much more than a job; it's a thrilling, adventurous, dynamic, rewarding, fulfilling, and energizing journey. And, the power of positivity plays a crucial role.

Here are some things I love about my work:

Puzzle Connection:

Piecing together patterns for a complete picture.

Collaborative Vibes:

Thriving in teamwork with students, designers, developers, and stakeholders.

Continuous Learning Adventure:

Staying ahead by embracing the ever-evolving research landscape.

I’m sending you all positive vibes today. Let's try to remember why we do what we do or aspire to achieve. I'm also curious to learn what makes YOUR journey, wherever you are, and whatever you may be doing, uplifting to YOU?
