All About Tiara.
I’m a former consultant turned Master’s student at the University of Michigan pursuing a Master of Business Administration and Human Computer Interaction with a focus in UX Research & Design.
My story behind UX.
I've always been curious about how innovation shapes our world. After graduating from Spelman College in 2020, I decided to become a consultant to get a better understanding of how Fortune 500 companies inspire change. Three years later, I can confirm it's not the companies themselves that force societies to change, but the needs of everyday individuals.
While the skillsets I learned as a consultant are readily transferable, I realized that my interest aligned more with understanding the people that solutions are built for. After my first professional UX project, I began taking courses to understand user experience. Finally, after immersing myself in the space, I decided to pursue a Master's degree in HCI to build a solid foundation for a career in UX.
I am not just a designer.
