Hi there,

A long time ago I wanted to be a spy. In pursuit of my goal, I opted for a career in journalism with the hope of gaining access to an exclusive "how-to" guide on the subject. Little did I know then that my destiny lay elsewhere.

Fast forward to the present day, I am a multidisciplinary designer, writer, educator, and researcher from India, spying for products to create the best experience for the users, in the most helpful way. Over the years, I have been lucky to have worked with a wonderful set of people, clients, and researchers, discovering my taste for UX. I take great pride in my ability to uncover insights that drive user-centric strategies, and nerd out on consumer trends and usability testing tools.

I am currently a Master’s in Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) candidate (UX Concentration) and a Researcher in the VISION Lab, at San Jose State University. I hold a Master’s degree in English Language and Literature, with a minor in Psychology and Computer Science.

I am open to new opportunities! Any inquiries, hellos, and dog memes to –> gayatri.vasudevan@sjsu.edu
