Bridging Disciplines Final Research Project

During my senior year at UT, I conducted qualitative research concerning the relationship between software engineers and designers. I interviewed five designers and five software engineers who worked at a large variety of startups and compiled my data to present at the Bridging Disciplines senior poster showcase (digitally held due to COVID 19).

I was interested in this topic because of my interest in working as a design-based developer. My Bridging Disciplines certificate focused on innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship leading me to take an interest in startups specifically. I wanted to better understand how to be a better team member, support coworkers in a healthy working environment, and how I could get the most out of a powerful work relationship.
