About — Beatrice Ricardos

Beatrice is a designer with a background in architecture. She’s currently doing a Master of UX Design @ VUW.

My dog, Kenzo, and I in Kaikōura.

My academic background in architecture initially sparked my interest in human interaction within spaces. Although I loved it, I found my true calling in UX Design. I fell in love with technology's capacity to connect, inspire, and build communities. I leverage the nexus of the two practices in my work, seeing designers as vital translators bridging the physical and digital realms.

I’m currently doing my Masters in UX Design at Victoria University. My research topic is on digital forms in the public sector and the ageing population.
