TEACHING
I taught two undergraduate courses at the University of Texas at Austin—one on design principles and another on research methods—introducing students to the foundations of human-centered design
Spring 2022 - Introduction to User Experience Design
This course covered the foundations of user experience design, including the psychology of human action, design principles, the UI design process, user research, prototyping, and evaluation. Students worked in groups to go through the design cycle and ultimately evaluated and presented a product prototype
I co-taught this course with my advisor, Dr. Jacek Gwizdka. Throughout the semester, I led in-class discussions, delivered lectures, facilitated research activities (e.g., card sorting and affinity diagramming), and invited guest speaker Eric Graham, Senior Interactive Designer at Dell, to demonstrate Figma and share insights about working in UI design in the industry.

This project-based undergraduate course focused on usability testing principles, strategies, and methods. Students worked in teams to complete a user research project, including conducting remote usability tests. Their projects examined popular platforms such as Apartments.com, Craigslist, and Goodreads.
To enrich the course experience, I organized and moderated a UX Research Panel featuring three UT iSchool alumni—Dr. Jin Gao, Bria Fowler, and Tom Reavley—who shared their industry experience and reflected on how their education at the iSchool prepared them for careers in UX research.
