About Christian

I am a very empathetic designer with a flexible mindset and toolbox of skills. I really enjoy design as I love listening to people’s stories. While I am currently interested in any role related to the UI/UX field, I have found myself interested in UX roles (especially the UX Designer role) because I feel like I can translate the users’ needs into a desired outcome with good reason.

When I’m not involved in UI/UX, my hobby is in virtual reality. I use Unity3D to create fun games or simulators because I love how people can interact with the worlds you design in a way beyond the screen. I currently work at the UCSD Supercomputer Center as a Research Assistant developing escape rooms to test experimenters and record their reactions.
