About Razel Agustino

I\'m a UX researcher with a psychology background, insatiable curiosity, and a drive for constant improvement. My work has benefited top-tier universities, Fortune 100 companies, startups, and local small businesses. I believe in using the power of research and technology to make positive impacts in people\'s lives and I\'m a big fan of organizations with that mission. My strengths include capturing and organizing information, identifying and resolving usability issues, noticing details, working both independently and collaboratively, making people feel at home, and leading when necessary.I\'ve worked on hardware, apps, websites, wearables, and medical devices at all stages of development and I have experience working both remotely and in person. I\'m currently a researcher at Newsela. Website: razel.io
