Hi there!

I am a mixed-methods researcher with 6+ years of experience in human-computer interaction and design strategy. I conduct research to explore how different technology designs impact user experience and behavior. My research work has appeared in Computers in Human Behavior, New Media & Society, International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, ACM CHI, etc. I have teaching experience in research methods, product/media design, creative strategies, and project management. My professional experience was in design research (@ Smart Design) and advertising (@Publicis Groupe).
