Leading design and research strategy

Designing digital-physical multi-modal experiences

Led a research project with the Morphing Matter Lab at CMU designing tools for marine biologists to help with ocean conversation efforts using a mix of materials science and digital fabrication methods.

I transitioned into a UX design role refining my skills in user-centered-design, qualitative user research, and interface design.

• Managed end-to-end product development at a rapidly scaling startup across 3 teams

• Conducted user research calls to identify key user pain points and communicated findings back for sensitive feature changes

• Collaborated with PMs to define multiple user scenarios and flows, wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and interactive prototypes
