Hello, my name is Max Kowalski. I am a senior at Purdue University studying User Experience Design with a minor in Psychology and a certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. When I’m designing, I use strong problem-solving skills combined with a coding background in Java and web development. I aim to design services and products that make information accessible and convenient to use. Additionally, I also want to explore emerging technologies and how people interact with them, especially XR and artificial intelligence and how they are used in the creative process.In the future, I wish to pursue a career in product/service design with a focus on helping small businesses, organizations, and their communities. I also want to do research into human-robot interaction and human-AI interaction (basically how people will interact with AI/robots in their daily lives as these technologies develop). Besides UX work, I enjoy longboarding and am part of the Purdue Longboarding Club's officer board, focusing on directing the club's social media and doing skate photography.
