Hey, I’m Abi.
As a full-stack researcher and first-principle thinker, I'm driven by a passion for continuous discovery. Through dynamic collaboration, I connect stories to data, fostering meaningful impacts.
About me
My journey began in game design, where I developed a strong foundation in creating engaging user experiences. Transitioning into UX research, I combined big data and thick data to gain deeper insights into users' core mental models and motivations, enabling me to translate complex needs into impactful, strategic solutions.
I am also a design pracademic with IIT and NIFT, a design thinking facilitator for organizations, and my expertise extends to food design and culinary arts, where I’ve curated menus and co-published board games.
With over 12 years of experience in UX design and research across healthcare, fintech, food, e-commerce, and education, I have specialized in building and scaling teams with practical strategies that drive better growth.
