I’m a UX Product Designer specialized in creating AI-driven digital products that actually make sense for real users, and I’m also a PhD student specializing in human behavior, so yeah, understanding why people do what they do is kind of my thing. We don’t waste time on pointless bells and whistles. Instead, we focus on designing intuitive, meaningful experiences that align with how people naturally think and act. No guesswork here—just solutions rooted in both design expertise and behavioral science.
