Earlier work.

Graduate research coursework and consumer apps from earlier in my career. They shaped how I work today, and they live here for the record.

Research work

Research coursework from the University of Washington.

I graduated in 2020 from the University of Washington, where I studied Human Centered Design and Engineering. These projects came from classes in qualitative research, quantitative research, usability testing, and theories of human-centered design.

Usability Testing

Seattle Department of Transportation website usability study

Evaluative research coursework for Seattletraffic.gov, focused on how people found traffic information and where the experience broke down.

Qualitative Research

How first and second dates happen through dating apps

Interview-based research on dating app behavior, motivation, trust, and what moves people from matching to meeting.

Quantitative Research

How social donation signals affect willingness to donate

A quantitative research project studying whether seeing donations from others changes a person’s own likelihood to donate.

Consumer UX

Customer-facing mobile apps and concepts.

Before and between enterprise work, I designed consumer apps for travel, news, and education teams. These are shipped app surfaces and concept explorations from that period.
