About me

Imagine that it's early in the morning and you are a college student about to enter a 2-hour cognitive psychology class. The topic of the day is how brains store memories and information and all of a sudden your professor plays a video of a psychiatrist talking about how UX Designers use psychology to help shape our experiences in the world. You raise your hand and ask, "What is UX Design?" and well I guess the rest is history...

​

Hi:)  I’m Omairy Rodriguez and that's how I was introduced to the innovative world of UX Design. I am originally from the Dominican Republic and came to the US with my family when I was just 8 years old. My mother is a hairstylist and with her encouragement and determination, my siblings and myself were able to attend college. With deep love and passion for understanding humans and society, I majored in Psychology, with minors in Sociology and Spanish and graduated with my bachelor's in 2022 from Manhattan College. 

​

Learning about UX Design really changed my life and inspired me to use my knowledge to improve and engage with systems in which we use and depend on everyday. I am passionate about using creativity and my love for psychology and sociology allows me to empathize with users to solve problems by creating useful user interactions. I offer a lot of experience in understanding the human condition and how users communicate with interfaces and as a Spanish speaker, I can also reach a larger audience. My UX design education has allowed me to equip myself with the relevant design skills and modern software knowledge needed to succeed in this field. I have a passion for user research, prototyping, and making sure that work processes run smoothly. In a UX team, I look forward to applying the same principles to designing user flows and working with brands that make a positive impact on people’s lives.
