Hello! My name is Michelle

I’m a UX designer and researcher driven by curiosity and a passion for crafting problems into meaningful, user-centered solutions.

About me

A third-year student at Simon Fraser University with concentrations in Human-Centered AI & Data Science, Designing Interactions, and Design & Development for Mobile & Web.

Pursuing a career in UX design and research, I’m especially interested in understanding user needs and translating insights into thoughtful, intuitive experiences. Outside of academics, I love spending time with my Papillon and exploring new places together.
