I'm Wesley.

I’m a UX researcher with a background in stakeholder research, product environments, and behavioral analysis. My work focuses on understanding how people navigate complex systems (from workplace dynamics to enterprise tools) and translating those insights into actionable outcomes.
Currently studying Industrial/Organizational Psychology at Portland State University.

I was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest and have spent most of my adult life living between Washington and Oregon. I love backpacking deep within the mountains, volcanos and forests of the Pacific Northwest. Most recently, I climbed to 9500' on Mt. Hood volcano and explored the Mt. St. Helen's Blastzone. I have a life-long sense of adventure and have been to 45 states and 6 countries. I'm always down to explore new paths and test my limits on and off the screen.
