I'm Kiran, a rather stereotypical UX researcher who tends to respond to questions with that classic "it depends." I'm consistently surprised by my own internal biases, but I absolutely revel in a good data twist and thrive on those delightful "Aha!" moments that come with extracting insights.

​

I'm currently the UX Researcher for a non-profit called AmpUp, where I manage a team of 4 interns to conduct mixed-methods research. As the founding researcher, I've had the fun of setting up all the research processes, roadmaps, and repositories to drive our strategic product development.

 

My expertise lies in research for emerging technologies, with previous experience in AI, VR, and Robotics development during my time at Cornell. I absolutely love working with people and facilitating those cross-functional research strategy workshops.
