UX Researcher & Designer
Hi, I’m Laney Nguyen, a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.A. in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication and a certificate in Applied Experience Design and Research. While I’m just stepping into the UX field professionally, I’ve conducted multiple full-process design projects, from user research and wireframing to prototyping and testing.
Before starting my UX career, I spent three years in the service industry, where I refined my communication skills and developed a deep understanding of people’s needs. I’m passionate about making technology more intuitive and human-centered, especially as someone who grew up helping my grandparents navigate digital tools.
I’m drawn to design that feels empathetic and emotional, and I love creating user experiences that are functional and leave a lasting impression. I’m excited to bring my creativity, curiosity, and human-centered mindset to a team that values thoughtful and accessible design.
