About

Hey I’m Clara Cristea, a UX Designer who loves building engaging experiences

As a UX designer with a background in psychology, I bring a unique blend of empathy, analytical thinking, and creativity to every project. My journey into UX design was inspired by a deep passion for understanding human behaviour and improving the human-machine relationship.

My degree in psychology provided me with a solid foundation in user-centered thinking, allowing me to delve into the motivations, needs, and pain points of users with a level of insight that sets my work apart.

Interesting fact: for my BSc in Psychology's dissertation, I conducted a survey using multiple regression analysis to explore the relationship between personality traits and the likelihood of people spotting dark patterns in User Experience Design. This project not only deepened my knowledge in both fields but also reinforced my commitment to designing transparent and trustworthy digital experiences.
