Hi, I’m Parisa Asayesh, a Human Factors and UX Researcher.
I study how people interact with the products they wear and hold, working across hardware and software with a particular pull toward wearable and health tech.
My path here started in fashion, nine years of designing for real bodies, and that hands on instinct for fit, comfort, and material still shapes every study I run today.
