Theresya Mega

I am a Senior Product Designer who is also an enthusiastic UX Researcher with a focus on qualitative research. Based in Jakarta, I've been in the UX field for over 7 years, with a pivot from design to focus on understanding human behavior.

My journey kicked off with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communication Design from Bina Nusantara University in 2013, and I dived headfirst into the digital design world at Aitindo in 2014.

 

In 2016, I took a leap of faith into the fascinating world of UI/UX at Saga Digital. What started as a bold move transformed into a love affair with UX, culminating in my official title as a User Experience Specialist in early 2020.

 

While my design roots run deep, my heart found a cozy spot in UX research. To spice up my UX game, I've earned certifications like Design Sprint by Borrys Hasian in 2017 and completed a 4-week Design Research Skills course by Somia in 2020. I've also soaked up insights from various YouTube channels and Medium articles.

 

When I'm not unraveling user journeys, catch me strumming song covers, immersing myself in simulations games, or perfecting my filter coffee game. Fun fact: in the '90s, I was a kid singer. Now, armed with design savvy and a zest for UX exploration, I'm ready to dive into exciting new challenges. Let's make the world a better place, one delightful user experience at a time!

“It is not enough that we build products that function, that are understandable and usable, we also need to build products that bring joy and excitement, pleasure and fun, and, yes, beauty to people’s lives.” – Don Norman
