Hi, I'm Nicole.
I'm a mixed-methods UX Researcher based in Toronto, Canada. I have a passion for turning user insights into meaningful solutions that are both intuitive and impactful. I'm currently working on my Masters degree at the University of Toronto, specializing in UX and human factors research.
My expertise is in uncovering factors that influence people's curiosity and motives. I'm eager to work with an innovative team to elevate user experiences through data-driven insights!
Thanks for stopping by my portfolio!
