UX Researcher

My name is Kiersten Chalhoub…

And I’m a DC-based UX Researcher. I’m a scientist to my core and love diving into the “how” and “why” behind user behaviors. I have experience researching in e-Commerce, livestream shopping, SaaS, technology adoption, and scientific instrumentation.

I seek to evaluate and investigate - not simply validate.

But real shout outs to @suzibot and @sydneytheengineer for carrying EVERYTHING off the trail, taking carry of Chili, and literally being so chill about my tibia taking this trip down. And @austinve

Candidly, it’s been a rough go with life recently. But so thankful to make a new set of traditions around seeing the cherry blossoms. Shout out to the wind and rain for keeping the tourists away!

Forgot to add these box cushions to my January make photo dump! Chair made by @austinveith !

Late photo dump including a gingerbread house that I made entirely from scratch and will never do again.

A year ago today, I married this wonderful, smart, silly, engaging, dynamic, goofy, incredible man. This may not be the one year anniversary we expected, but I’m so proud and honored to be married to someone who will always support and help his

Let me just say it bluntly: Austin, TX just wasn’t my city. And that’s okay. Not everywhere you live will be your favorite and you’ll be happy to say “Bye” to that skyline. But this was still the hardest, most painful mo

Last road trip from Austin. We knew we’d likely never get a chance (or frankly choose) to visit Oklahoma and Arkansas once we were out of the area. That said, OKC pleasantly surprised us and, despite Austin’s food poisoning, Hot Springs w

It’s official: we’re moving to the DC area! We’re signing our lease tonight and can’t wait. It’ll be a lot of changes at once: we’ll both be new to the Mid-Atlantic, Austin will be starting his new job, I’ll

It’s official: @austinveith is officially Dr. Veith. It’s impossible to communicate how proud I am of him. Over the past few years, Austin has left home to willingly face a tough program and along the way has built a beautiful family of f
