(pron. gah-yuh-three)
A user researcher, experience designer, and professional problem untangler 🧶, passionate about making technology feel a little more human through UX.
my ux adventure so far 🔖:
Earned a Master’s in UX Research & Design from UT Austin, where I had the honor of receiving the iSchool Diversity & Inclusion Award — a recognition that reaffirms my belief that great UX is inclusive and accessible for all.
Discovered human-computer interaction during my undergrad in Computer Science—my first dive into problem-solving, algorithms, and too many late-night coding sessions.

about me
How I found UX
Growing up, I was always fascinated by new technology and interested in helping people. After taking up CS in highschool, I realized that UX is the perfect field of helping people with accessing technology. Currently, I'm learning more about accessible UX, and working on making this website more accessible; UX Design and Quantitative Research.
Why UX research & design?
I believe it is important to conduct research to understand user needs and pain points to empathize and gather insights to produce user-friendly and intuitive designs. As an aspiring UX professional, I believe it is important for me to understand all aspects of UX to be part of conversations and to be an effective bridge between users and technology.
My long-term career goal is to become a UX Manager, involved in both research & design, years into the future 🚀.
Hosted UXPA UT's first Designathon as President & Co-Director
Other things I enjoy
Outside of UX, you can find me exploring California, searching for the best cappuccino, reading non-fiction, visiting museums, taking up DIY projects, and learning new languages (Korean 한글, Japanese 日本語).
