About me

Isabel (Wenjuan) Zhang, Ph.D.

I am a User Experience Researcher.

I not only care about product users as people, but also what opportunities are there to help them be more effective, safer, or happier.

I not only believe in the power of research, but also that elegant solutions only come from true cross-functional collaboration.

I not only make sure research is done the right way, but also that it's actually used to guide product development.

With 7 years of experience in human-centered research, I translate product team's questions to research questions, design study plans, conduct the research , analyze the data, and come up with actionable recommendations. I'm still working on my portfolio, but you can find a summary of my career journey here and some sample work here.

Aside from my daily responsibilities, I mentor students and interns, publish research in top-tier conferences and journals, and serve as reviewer for peer academic researchers. Aspired to be a life-long learner, I set side time to read latest publications, attend conferences, read books, and listen to my favorite UX podcasts!

Outside of work, I'm a latte art enthusiast, weekend home baker, and occasional sketch artist.
