Hi! I’m Harshita, currently a fourth-year student at the University of California, Berkeley.

I combine my deep passion for music and my background in cognitive science to approach UX research with empathy, curiosity, and a keen sensitivity to human behavior. By blending these disciplines, I uncover meaningful insights that drive user-centered research, allowing me to create intuitive and emotionally resonant user experiences.

I believe in leveraging user research principles to foster deep empathy for individual stories and craft experiences that positively impact everyday life. By focusing on users' needs, behaviors, and emotions, I aim to design solutions that resonate on a personal level. I’m driven by the people I encounter, the design of everyday experiences, and a deep commitment to fostering inclusivity and ensuring individuals feel valued and understood.

When I'm not diving into new research insights, I enjoy discovering new restaurants and coffee spots, experimenting with music covers across various genres, and modeling as a way to explore different fashion styles and connect them to my love for performing music on stage.
