Hi there, this is Jessie! You can also call me Yuan, my Chinese name.
I am a user experience designer based in Toronto, Canada. My expertise is user research and usability testing. I am familiar with the human-centered design framework.
Prior to my UX designer career, I worked as a researcher in cognitive neuroscience field for couple years. Motivated by the idea of bringing advanced knowledge of psychology and neuroscience to the human-centered design, I made a career change from a scientific researcher in academia to a UX designer in IT industry.
My psychology and neuroscience background gives me a deep understanding of human cognition and behaviours, also shapes my way of thinking towards better UX designs.
