Hello! My name is Kim Rios, I’m a UX designer based in New England with experience in conceptualizing and crafting digital products. I’m passionate about creating products with meaningful interactions that are useful, usable and valuable to users.

I’m also experienced in UX research and UI design. My UX research experience includes usability testing, preference and first impression studies, creating scripts, managing schedules, and analyzing and synthesizing research data. My UI design experience includes crafting designs and experiences from concept to sketches, wireframes, prototypes, all the way to pixel-perfect.

In my free time I enjoy taking belly dance classes, the hula hoop, and going to parks to relax. I recently bought an inflatable kayak (I didn’t know they existed!) so I’ve been having fun floating & exploring! :D
