Resume

UX research and product design shaped by cognitive systems.

MS in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience, specialization in Cognition (2026). Focused on UX research, product design, adaptive support, and high-cognitive-load experiences. Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and open to UX research and product design opportunities.

Profile

UX researcher and product designer focused on complex, decision-heavy experiences where users are overloaded, uncertain, or trying to act on fragmented information. My work connects cognitive systems, product structure, interaction design, and evaluative research.
