About

Hi, I’m Jaitra. You can call me JD!

My journey in design started during my undergrad. I was part of a college committee where I used to design posters, flyers, and other digital graphics for college events. The idea of communicating something using design was very interesting to me. I did my undergrad in Computer Engineering, and one of the electives I took was Human-Computer Interaction, where I realized that a very important aspect of good products is the way information is presented to users and the way an app/website facilitates interactions. I found HCI to be the perfect combination of design and technology, and I realized that’s what I wanted to do. That brought me to Bentley University, where I did my Master’s in Human Factors in Information Design.

Since graduating, I’ve been working at Constant Contact as a UX Researcher, where I help design and product teams understand our customers, their needs and pain points, and help them make informed decisions.

When I’m not working, I like to go on hikes, runs, nerd out on coffee, watch F1, try new recipes, among other things. I’m currently based in Boston, but originally from Mumbai, India.
