Introduction

At the intersection of two distinct fields is often where true innovation emerges. Introducing fresh perspectives informed by radically different prior experience can be the creative edge needed to keep projects from becoming stale. That's where I come in. I bring the following skillset: -Scientific research -Data analysis -Integrating theoretical approaches -Advanced problem solving -Communicating technical information which I honed in my time as an astrophysics student and researcher working on various projects including optimizing micromegas chips for the 2018 update of the Large Hadron Collider (CERN in Geneva, Switzerland), developing methods for NASA probes to extract materials from asteroids, and testing distinct arrangements for Pulsar Timing Array setups to maximize signals of gravitational waves from the mergers of supermassive black hole binaries. Though I was fascinated conceptually by Astrophysics and the research I was doing, I longed for a career where I could have a more tangible impact and work as part of a collaborative effort to identify users’ needs and provide for them. Now as a UI/UX designer, I leverage my prior experience as an astrophysics student to produce calculated and intuitive user experiences. In UI/UX design I’m able to combine my analytical and technical skills with my creativity and empathy to produce user personas, journey maps, wireframes, and prototypes. During my time as a UI/UX designer, I’ve developed the following skills -User research -Prototyping/wireframing/journey mapping/story boarding -Visual communication -Usability testing Additionally, I am proficient in UI/UX design tools such as Google Analytics, Axure RP, InVision Studio Proto.io, and Sketch/Figma.
