Hi, I’m Daria, a UX Researcher & Designer.

I spend my days figuring out why technology frustrates people, and making the complex feel simple and human.

Currently, I am a Senior User Experience Researcher at J.P. Morgan Chase, where I focus on improving the experience for over 300,000 employees.

I studied Human Computer Interaction while competing as a D1 athlete, an experience that shaped my discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

Off-hours, you'll find me on long runs ending in coffee, exploring new trails, or chilling with my cat, Ozzy

My Approach

Everyone has a story

Listening is how we grow and learn as people. The more perspectives we can learn to see, the greater our understanding becomes. My job is to ask the right questions and stay open to unexpected answers.

Connect the dots others miss

Whether it's a repeated painpoint across roles or tension between stated and actual behavior, I love finding patterns in messy spaces and turning them into direction

Keep it scrappy (when needed)

I believe great research doesn't always need a 6-week timeline. I know when to go deep and when to move fast–prioritizing momentum while protecting rigor.
