Hello, I'm Gayathri (pronounced gah-yuh-three). I am a UX Designer (User Experience Designer) at HathiTrust, where I support front-end work by 

• improving the search experience through intuitive and user-friendly designs
• conduct user research to provide a better experience for our patrons and users, and 
• ensure the overall experience is accessible. 

I hold a MS in Information Studies with a specialization in UX Research & Design from the School of Information at the University of Texas, Austin; and also have a background in Computer Science.
