Whitney Vorwerk here. I am a self-taught UX Researcher and Designer who loves to ponder the Psychology of design (Psyc major here). I've been in UX since 2018. I aim to work smarter, not harder. You'll often find me looking for a way to improve the process. Impacting my users' daily life is where I find fulfillment.
