I’m a first-year master's student in the Human-Computer Interaction program @GeorgiaTech. I am particularly interested in UI/UX research as a way to combine my interests in cognition and creativity! I’ve fallen in love with the research process as it feels like solving a puzzle. My background is in Cognitive Science (HCI) and Linguistics!
Hi, I’m Irene!
Check out some of my projects↓!
Raccoon
*Won Best Sustainability Hack during CitroHacks
Raccoon aims to slow down the increasing carbon emissions, that are a result of increasing waste in the landfill, by addressing the lack of information regarding trash sorting. I worked with other designers to research and create a prototype.
ORG+RES
ORG+RES aims to better help teachers from a variety of schools/districts by creating a platform to allow them to share resources with each other. I led the team through the design process of qualitative analysis, interviews, and iterating on prototypes.
PetPrep
PetPrep looks into aiding the pet adoption process by providing support in both the process before adopting, during, and after. I led a team of designers through the user experience in designing the UI of PetPrep
Blossom
This research project explored how to support the diverse goals that arise from individuals attending community networking events. I led and mentored a team through the design and research process: designed mobile UI, conducted Wizard-of-Oz studies, conducted qualitative analysis (e.g. interviews, thematic analysis), conducted quantitative analysis (e.g. descriptive, t-tests), and wrote a research paper.
