Hello, and welcome to my portfolio!

I’m Mya Naomiee Dobbs!

I’m a Master’s student at the University of Michigan School of Information, specializing in UX Research and Design. My journey into UX began with a B.S. in psychology and a curiosity about how people interact with technology.

Whether through user research, accessibility improvements, or intuitive design, my goal is to make products more inclusive and user-friendly. As a research assistant, I’m sharpening my data analysis skills, while also providing UX consulting for nonprofit projects like Tech 4 Social Good.

I believe that knowledge should be used to help others—because that’s what keeps the world moving forward. Beyond UX, you’ll find me at concerts, experimenting with new recipes, gaming, or planning my next adventure.

Let’s connect! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat.

Oh, and one more thing.. I love to win 🏆
