Summary

I recently graduated from Aarhus University with a Master of Arts in Education, specializing in ICT-based Educational Design. During my studies, I also immersed myself in the comprehensive universe of UI/UX Design and research methods. As an ICT-based educational designer, I am eager to apply for the UX researcher position in the Digital Accelerator, as my skills and experience in user-centered design, research, and interaction design are highly relevant here. Additionally, many years of experience in the education sector and working closely in the healthcare sector have developed one of key abilities: empathy. This focus on empathy, a main component of a user-centric approach, has given me a deep understanding of user needs, pain points, and behaviors uncovered through various qualitative research methods.
