Mina Terzioglu

About

I'm a design-minded human factors engineer passionate about design, business, and innovative technologies, and understanding how people interact with products, services, and systems. I recently graduated from Tufts University with a B.S. in Human Factors Engineering and studied abroad at IE University in Spain, where I gained a strong entrepreneurial mindset from a business and innovation lens. With hands-on experience across product design and development—from user research to rapid prototyping and testing, I bring diverse skills in UX/UI design, human factors research, market research, CAD modeling, DFM, 3D fabrication, data visualization, and statistical analysis. I am well prepared to collaborate with cross-functional teams. I bring a global perspective from living on three continents, and a blend of cross-cultural awareness to diverse teams.
