Senior UX researcher with a background in cognitive neuroscience. My work focuses on how attention, memory, and learning shape the way people interact with technology.
I completed my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Notre Dame, where I studied visual working memory and attention and developed experimental paradigms to understand how people encode and maintain information.
I later worked as a UX Researcher at Microsoft Mixed Reality, investigating perception, cognition, and usability in augmented reality systems to inform interface design and human performance in immersive environments.
Today I build and study learning technology at Laureata, applying behavioral science and experimental research to improve how students study and retain information.
My research philosophy is simple: the most impactful products emerge from a deep understanding of how people actually think, learn, and behave.
Exceptional products emerge from a deep understanding of users' behavior and context. Research is not just a step in design. It is fundamental to meaningful product decisions.
Great UX research clarifies product direction, reveals hidden needs, and helps teams make more confident decisions about what to build, refine, and prioritize.
I'm always interested in conversations about research, product design, and learning science.
