ABOUT ME
I'm Maya Posner, a senior at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Science with a concentration in UX Design/HCI and a minor in Entrepreneurship.
I have a passion for innovation and have always been fascinated by how things work. My innate curiosity, passion for design, and value of service to others led me to User Experience. As a people person and problem solver, I am excited by the ways that technology, information, businesses, and last but not certainly least, people intertwine.
I particularly enjoy collaborating with engineering teams to understand complex systems and applying my understandings to a product's design to increase usability and user enjoyment. When not working, I love playing pickleball with friends, trying new restaurants around Ann Arbor, and reading.
Please feel free to contact me with employment and project collaboration opportunities (and book recs)!
