I'm a UX Researcher based in Bay area, California. I always try to understand how people's minds work and "why" they choose certain things over others. I was born and raised in Shiraz(like the wine), Iran and moved to U.S to be with my family in 2014. I love swimming and traveling, baking(not good at it :)), and gardening. You can also find me binge watching a good old comedy on weekends.
THIS IS ME. I MEAN "SHE".
I didn't start in tech; I started in the lab. With a double background in Cognitive Science and Biology, I spent my early career obsessing over how the human brain processes visual stimuli. Today, I translate those biological "bugs and features" into seamless digital experiences.
Currently, I'm at Meta Reality Labs, where I lead mixed-methods research for the next generation of AR/VR eyewear. Whether I'm using R and Python to clean biometric data or conducting longitudinal fit studies for AR hardware, my goal is the same: making technology feel like a natural extension of the human body.
Before Meta, I was at Apple and Keysight, helping Fortune 500 teams move faster by turning complex user friction into "exec-ready" strategy.
