Hello! I'm Maxine, a Master's graduate in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from the University of California, Irvine. Currently I work in medical devices as a User Researcher - or as what they would call it, a Human Factors Engineer.
Here you will find my portfolio showcase on select projects in my UXR career, soon-to-be-coming blog posts in med tech, and some photos of my cat - who could say no to the latter?
Thank you for visiting! I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Please feel free to contact me via Linkedin or through email.
