My name is Yagmur (/yaaˈmur/). I am a curious UX researcher who strongly believes design should respond to users' needs.

My experiences have inspired me about the process of a concept becoming a product and shaped my goal in developing smart and thoughtful user engagement systems to help people from different backgrounds by improving the way they experience the world.

​

I am currently working on several projects within the MHCI+D program, ranging from people's ways of coping with grief to an Amazon sponsored project on improving accessibility in online shopping websites. You can view my ready-to-go projects from here or reach out to me to learn more!

​

When I am not working, I enjoy volunteering for Sofar Sounds, playing with dogs, discovering the best pizza restaurants, and binge-watching Friends episodes for the hundredth time --shoot me your hardest Friends trivia challenges!
