About me
I'm a designer and researcher based in Boston and just graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Design and Business Administration specialization in Experience Design, Interaction Design and Marketing. I’m passionate about strategic design and consulting and I’ve learned that the best solutions emerge at the intersection of creativity and strategy. My journey so far has been incredibly rewarding; I've had the privilege of working with renowned consulting firms like Boston Consulting Group and L.E.K Consulting where I've had a front-row seat to how design thinking can transform businesses.
One of my proudest moments was winning the 2020 D'source Corona Design Challenge for my project, Counter Covid, which tackled the complex issue of managing crowds during the pandemic. This experience has fueled my passion for creating intuitive and user-centered designs that make a real impact.
Beyond the professional realm, I'm an avid traveler and photographer, finding inspiration in the diversity of cultures and landscapes. I'm all about forging connections and collaborations, so if you share my passion for strategic design, consulting, or simply making the world a better place through thoughtful solutions, I’d love to connect!

Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Iha during a co-op. Iha exhibits all the traits of a great UXer. She is naturally curious, not afraid to ask questions, and learns quickly. She always has a positive attitude, embodies the growth mindset, and always goes above and beyond what’s being asked of her. In the 6 months we worked together, I’ve seen tremendous growth in her design and research abilities. I’ve come to trust her work and work ethic and would be happy to work with her again. Iha will go far in her career.”
— Andy Chang, User Experience Lead at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), 2021 (Manager)
“Iha led the team we worked with from the NU Marketing Association Consultancy (NUMAC). From our initial meeting, we were greatly impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of her space. The team and she designed a comprehensive study incorporating an analysis of the data we'd handed off to them, in addition to customer interviews across a pair of disparate market segments. Throughout the course of the semester-long project, she kept in consistent contact, despite a challenging group of schedules, and led our meetings with confidence. Each time they reported their findings, we were progressively more impressed with their results. Ultimately, the deliverables they handed off were wildly beyond what we expected, both in quality and scope. Iha brings the skill and competence of a talented young professional who's been working at a high level for years, as an undergraduate. Any team that can recruit her will be beyond lucky to do so, as she stands to level up any initiative that she joins.”

“Iha is a great combination of dedication and sharpness. Even though she may not have had a lot of experience working in a traditional strategic design setup, I never realized it because she picked on to strategic concepts very fast and hit the ground running. She has an intuitive sense of design and has a great passion for the subject. She is hence able to articulate her thoughts succinctly and clearly, one which otherwise only comes with a couple of years of experience. Not only is she good at her work, she has a great work ethic, And everybody she worked with, when she was a part of my team, had only good things to say about her. I wish her luck and am looking forward to seeing all the good work she is going to do in her career.”
