About
Me

Hello! こんにちは！

​

My name is Yukeria (yoo-keer-E-uh) Natsuko Haywood (she/her) and I'm a UX Researcher & Designer. I am half Japanese - half African American and from Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA. As a bicultural individual and having a BA in Anthropology & International Studies and a minor in Arabic from Macalester College (Saint Paul, MN), I have always been passionate about observing and analyzing the ways people eat, dance, speak, create, etc.. Upon graduating Macalester in 2021, I began my UX journey by obtaining the UX Design Professional Certificate from Google.

​

Designing intuitive and appreciative experiences to enhance collaboration and share joy across cultures is what inspires me to do the work. In my free time, you can find me getting in some touches with a soccer ball, painting, or birdwatching at a local park!
