Active Case Study (Currently in progress)
This case study is currently in active development as I finalize the high-fidelity prototyping and usability testing phases

Description

This active collection contains three distinct research studies conducted for my UX-Research & Testing course. It demonstrates my ability to apply diverse methodologies—spanning evaluative usability testing, information architecture analysis, and field research—to uncover friction points and advocate for the user across complex digital ecosystems.

Focus areas:

• Ensemble Stars User Field Assignment: A contextual field assignment evaluating the First-Time User Experience of a complex mobile rhythm game. This study specifically analyzes cognitive load and behavioral friction by observing how a new user adapts to high-velocity tap mechanics and spatial UI layout.
  - Medium: Mobile (IOS/Android) Gaming Interface.

• Booking.com Interface Analysis: A short investigative group research series exploring information architecture, search filtering mental models, and how multi-tiered data density impacts user-making decisions.
  - Medium: Multi-Device Responsive Web

• Amazon Usability Study (Collaborative): A conducted and moderated group-led evaluative usability test to map user friction points and cognitive load during checkout flows, translating qualitative user behaviors into prioritized, actionable design recommendations.
  - Medium: Desktop Web
