Meet Madison,

I am a user experience researcher with a Master of Science in psychology. My academic background and practical experience equip me with a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, and cognitive processes, which I leverage to inform design decisions in the tech industry

I thrive on exploring how psychological principles can be applied to improve usability and promote user well-being in digital spaces. Whether it’s through research, prototyping, or user testing, I am dedicated to crafting experiences that empower users and enhance their interactions with technology
