- Degree: MSc in Human-Computer Interaction (Sep' 2023), School of computing, Newcastle University, UK
- My MSc in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Newcastle, UK, equipped me to design user-centric products and technologies. I gained expertise in incorporating cognitive and emotional factors into design through the Interaction Design (IxD) process. This included crafting intuitive interactive systems. Additionally, I honed my UX research and design skills, considering user psychology's impact on behavior. Research methods and analysis allowed me to design user experiences that address these needs. Finally, I mastered high-level physical prototyping, creating and testing tangible mockups of products and systems.

Recent Project
Heuristic Evaluation of the Nexus POP Metro App
Introduction
In this project, I conducted a heuristic evaluation to assess the user experience (UX) of the Nexus Metro App. Heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method for identifying usability problems in a user interface (UI) design. By reviewing the app against established usability principles, I aimed to highlight areas needing improvement to enhance user satisfaction and effectiveness.

Evaluation
Based the evaluation on Jakob Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design, which are widely recognized principles for evaluating the usability of interfaces.I identified key screens and interactions within the Nexus Metro App that are critical to the user experience. This included onboarding screens, issue reporting, ticket booking, journey planning, and real-time updates.
For each identified issue, I suggested potential improvements and solutions aimed at enhancing usability and user satisfaction and have documented all findings in a detailed report, including screenshots, identified issues, severity ratings, and proposed solutions.
