Hi, I'm Oanh Nguyen.

I like to call myself a designer and researcher focused on human-computer interactions (HCI).

Growing up in the digital era, I'm interested in how humans and technology will evolve together. Where many people fear that technology will replace humans, I hope to be the change that allows technology to supplement human life, not erase it.

Here's what I know:

User Experience Design

I've designed wireframes and low-fidelity mockups for Vanguard's Digital Advisor product to streamline the user experience to be more accessible for financial beginners.

I've conducted usability tests, open card sorts, and asset hierarchies for Vanguard's Digital Advisor. I've also interviewed 30+ users face-to-face as part of the Kessler Scholars program.

Web Development & Design

I've developed webpages for SoFi Her First 100k and implemented Miss EmpowHer's first eBook on their Shopify page by using HTML/CSS and Javascript.

Program Development

I've extensively researched and taught myself how to develop a program in Python using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to conduct high-level quantitative research.

      About

Chào! Here's some fun facts about me:

P.S. It's pronounced like the number 'one'.

I grew up in the digital world with the internet as my playground. How society flows in the digital space has always been a lifelong interest of mine, even when I was too young to put a definite name to it. My interests as an adult now lie in digital culture, user privacy and data ownership, as well as human-AI communication.

Currently, I'm furthering my knowledge by continuing my studies at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) and the Hussman School at UNC Chapel Hill, where I also serve as the President of the First-Generation Student Association.

Outside of work, you can find me obsessing over my cat Melinoë, running my Pathfinder 2e campaign, and playing the guitar horribly.
