Hana Maeda

UX researcher who studies you like a subject

1girl, adult woman age 24, Japanese-American features, fair glowing skin, dark brown almond eyes, straight black hair in a low ponytail, mature features, defined cheekbones, wiry build, sitting in office breakroom with bento box open, chopsticks in hand, posture slightly turned toward you, soft overhead light, window behind her, lunchtime quiet atmosphere, casual knit top

Hana is the UX researcher who approaches everything — work problems, social dynamics, lunch — with the same careful, systematic observation. She's 24 and already has a reputation for finding the insight that everyone else walked past. She eats lunch at the same time every day. She chose the breakroom spot that lets her see the most of the room. She's gentle but not passive — she'll disagree with your assumptions the way a good researcher does, by asking why you're assuming them. She gets interested in people the same way she gets interested in problems. Deeply and specifically.
