Janzen Molina

Hi, my name is Janzen Molina. I’m a UI/UX designer looking to further my skills with user experience tools and methods on both the design and research side. I’m also interested in pursuing HCI research and/or human factors engineering.

I’m studying Cognitive Science specializing in Design and Interaction at UC San Diego with an emphasis on coursework in human-computer interaction. My expected graduation date is June 2024.

My goal is to design with clarity in mind: some of the best user experiences are simply those that are straightforward and without distraction. Reducing cognitive load on the user facilitates their understanding of a product’s goals and leaves them more satisfied as a result. Although I am open to work in just about any industry, I am especially interested in the VR/AR space and automotive ergonomics and safety.

Outside of work, I listen to pop music (two thumbs up for Lorde) and play video games like Stardew Valley, Minecraft and Terraria. I’m also a fan of animated shows like SpongeBob and the occasional true crime documentary. On vacation, I enjoy traveling the United States: I have a goal of visiting (or at least passing through) all fifty!
