I am deeply passionate about critically examining and dissecting the human mind via research and analysis. My fields of study (Psychology, Business, Human Systems) lie at the heart of professional organizations and neatly bridge the gap between any two entities, i.e., the designer and the user or the owner and customer.
I plan to utilize psychological principles, empathy, cultural competence, and both divergent and convergent thinking to inform my work in UX Design and Research. My goal is to transform research into actionable insights, and design enjoyable, simple, and intuitive software interfaces for all kinds of users. Currently, I’m interested in EdTech, but I’m always open to anything novel that comes my way.
In my free time, you can catch me color-coding my apps on my phone , writing about the world in articulate or word-vomit format, reading books, dancing, or listening to music :-) 🎨✍🏽📖🕺🏽🎵
TLDR: I am intrigued by the human mind and I want to use my ever-evolving knowledge of it to improve products and interfaces. I feel inclined to do so because technology is the future of humanity—its influence travels beyond its own domain. Oh, and I like anything arts-related—dance, literature, writing, music, etc!
Hello, I’m Swathi!
