Hi! I'm Uddipana Baishya, a UX researcher, IIT and SFU alum.

Design to me is a creatively logical approach of drawing upon technological possibilities for fulfilling users' needs and business requirements.

I have an educational background and work experience in user-centered design with a focus on UX research, usability testing, and tangible interaction design. I did Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from SIAT, SFU and Bachelor of Design from the IIT, Guwahati.

As a UX researcher, I am empathetic and curious with an eye for detail. Through research tools such as observation and probing interview questions, I focus on uncovering latent user needs. I am passionate about creative problem solving for addressing users' needs while fulfilling business goals. As a person, I am motivated to excel in life while deriving meaning from helping those in need.
