Hi, I’m Tierra and I’m truly honored you’re here ; )
Go ahead and get comfortable, because this isn’t a traditional portfolio. It’s a window into the work that moves me and the values that ground me.

My academic and professional journey is deeply intertwined with the passions of my heart. My faith has taught me to love others greater than myself, a principle that shapes how I show up as a UX researcher: with intention, empathy, and care. I’m drawn to Human-Computer Interaction because, to me, technology is most powerful when it is humane: relevant, accessible, and thoughtfully woven into the rhythms of everyday life.

Through user-centered research and iterative design, I seek to understand lived experience and translate insight into technologies that support equity, wellbeing, and everyday use.

I love people. I love technology. I love creative problem-solving and meaningful relationship-building. HCI is where all of those loves meet, and where I get to be fully myself while designing, researching, and imagining better futures alongside others.
