Welcome to My Webpage

I’m Elif Gürçınar—a designer, researcher, and occasional developer. My expertise lies in User Experience Design, with a strong focus on Extended Reality (XR) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I work at the Institute of Interactive Technologies at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW).

​​

I enjoy the variety in my work, which spans conducting user interviews, analyzing diverse data types, and designing visuals and user interfaces. Operating at the intersection of academia and industry, I collaborate closely with industry partners.

​

Before my current position, I received the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship, which allowed me to spend a year at FHNW researching VR, HCI, and UX.
