About me

I’m Helen — a UX Researcher and Product Designer, 

with a background spanning UX research, product design, visual design, business strategy, and psychology. I dig deep into users’ behavior first, then translate those insights into experiences that truly work

Every great design starts with a question, not a pixel. And every great product starts with understanding the people who will use it. That’s the lens I bring to every project.

What sets me apart isn’t any single skill — it’s the combination. I think like a strategist, investigate like a researcher, and create like a designer. That means the work I deliver isn’t just visually compelling — it’s shaped by empathy, grounded in evidence, and designed to drive meaningful outcomes.
