▌ PORTFOLIO · USABILITY STUDY OF ONE ▐
─ This portfolio is a UX research file. The user under study is me. Each section below is the artifact a researcher would produce — applied to my own way of working.

HOOK....Design tools, experimental websites, and whatever feels right.
PAIN....When UX craft and production code live apart, products lose soul and speed.
BRIDGE..I own design, frontend, and interaction — leveraging UX experience to make complex products feel human.
CLOSE...“One designer. One builder. Better experiences.”
