Hi there! I'm Sydney 👩🏻💻
I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a double-degree in Informatics (Human-Computer Interaction) and Psychology. My strengths lie in my attention to detail, my talent for listening to and observing people closely, and my ability to function highly in cross-functional teams. Throughout my time at UW, I have gained valuable experience conducting user research to inform and build products utilizing web development and design heuristics.
Outside of UX, I like to play soccer, gush over my dachshund Rocafort, and explore unique places to eat in Seattle!

A bit more about me...
At the beginning of my college career, I had no idea what I wanted to become. I pursued Psychology because I found human behavior intriguing to study, but was still unclear which career direction to take. After taking my first coding class, I was in awe at the capabilities of technology, and my new path was revealed.
I learned about UX as the fascinating intersection between humans and technology, and decided to study Informatics to learn more about the field. Throughout each project experience, my favorite part was conducting user research. Learning to empathize with users' experiences with their interactions with technology combines my earliest interests, and motivates me to improve my skills to pursue a career in UX.
