Human-Computer Interaction

What I Do

I am Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the multidisciplinary field studying how people interact with computers and designing interfaces that enhance this interaction. I combine principles from computer science, psychology, design, and ergonomics to create user-friendly technologies. I focus on usability, accessibility, and the overall user experience. I employ research methods like user testing, contextual inquiry, and cognitive walkthroughs to understand user needs. I inform interface design through mental models, affordances, and feedback loops. I advocate for users throughout the design process, ensuring technology serves human needs rather than creating friction.
