Hi, I'm Jullia!

I study user needs, attitudes, and behaviors to inspire and inform design. As a former Product Manager/Researcher and edtech startup Co-Founder, I built my expertise in managing the full product development cycle of digital apps. In these roles, I found AR/VR and UX research to be absolutely intriguing. Now, I'm strengthening my research skills through my PhD studies in Cognitive Science at Columbia University, where I am investigating the effects of generative AI contents on learning.

 

*My projects have been featured on TED, CBS and CUNY TV.
