Who I Am
Hey, I'm Jason. I'm a grad student at Drexel studying HCI and UX, with a little web dev on the side. I like figuring out why something feels off and then actually building the fix. Research, design, code, all of it.
It started when I kept noticing how much time people lose to interfaces that just don't work the way they should. A confusing flow here, a mislabeled button there, and suddenly something that should take thirty seconds takes ten minutes. That friction bothered me enough to want to understand it, and then do something about it. That's still what drives the work.
My background sits at the intersection of research, design, and implementation. I study how people actually behave with digital products, translate those findings into design decisions, and then build them out. Working as a UX Research Assistant at Ethos Labs alongside PhD researchers has pushed that approach into territory I wouldn't have reached on my own.
Outside of work I'm usually running, cooking something I found online, or deep into a manga. Sometimes all three, not at the same time.
