about

From psychology to human–computer interaction.

I started in psychology, with a B.Sc. (Hons) from Government College University, Lahore, and I now study Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Siegen. I've run usability tests and interviews in applied HCI projects, and I'm looking for a UX research internship or working student role where user insights become recommendations product and design teams can act on.
