UX Research Portfolio
Hey there! I'm Parnian- Par for short. Human-Computer Interaction student with a passion for UX research. I specialize in conducting user research, analyzing data, and improving platform interfaces. My goal is to create engaging, accessible, and intuitive experiences for all users. Let's work together to solve UX challenges!
About Me
Medical Anthropology & Global Health BA from University of Washington, currently pursuing MS-HCI at Georgia Tech. I have experience in management, teaching, conducting and analyzing research. My interests range from medicine, linguistics, psychology, to education and beyond.
UX research should have been implemented into technological development a long time ago- since the inception of modern technology. If my interests align with yours, let's give working together a shot.
Project 1: Crunchbase
Improving Usability on a UI
In this project, I applied user research to identify pain points and design opportunities for improving Crunchbase platform use and navigation for startup founders. I created affinity maps, user personas, and wireframes, then analyzed the data and results. The final design solution resulted in a more efficient and navigable homepage with overall user preference.
Project 2: SecondSprouts
Developing a Furniture Sale & Purchase App
In this project, I assisted in developing a platform geared towards sustainable furniture practices. I conducted research to learn user habits, pain points, and to identify design opportunities for improving the flow and user engagement. The final product resulted in an app that considered accessibility and usability for a diverse user group.
