Delaney Demyon
I study Cognitive Science and Business Management Economics at UC Santa Cruz. I'm passionate about understanding how people think, make decisions, and interact with data — combining UX research, data visualization, and human-centered design.
A bit about me
I'm a third-year student at UC Santa Cruz pursuing a dual B.A. in Cognitive Science and Business Management Economics. I'm fascinated by the intersection of human behavior, data, and design.
My academic journey combines analytical thinking with human-centered perspectives. I love exploring how people think, make decisions, and interact with technology. Whether it's analyzing survey data on music preferences or creating data visualizations for business insights, I'm driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the "why" behind the numbers.
Outside of academics, I enjoy working with people — whether that's serving customers, tutoring kids, or collaborating on sustainability initiatives. I believe the best solutions come from truly understanding the people you're designing for.
Currently
- Studying data visualization and UX research methods
- Exploring statistical analysis with Python and Stata
- Building Tableau dashboards for business insights
