Hello, I'm

Olga K. Hamilton

Data Analytics · User-Centered Design

I'm a graduate student at the University of Michigan School of Information with an interest in using data, design, and ethical decision-making to solve real-world problems.

I enjoy exploring data to uncover insights, understanding people's needs through user-centered design, and communicating complex information in ways that are clear and useful.

My experiences across data analytics, design, AI, and community-focused projects have shaped how I approach my work: analyze the problem, design with people in mind, and communicate the impact.

Life beyond the screen

When I'm not working with data, design, or technology, I enjoy spending time on creative and relaxing activities that keep me inspired and enjoying free time with family and friends.

Making something meaningful.

Creating handmade projects is one of my favorite ways to relax. I enjoy turning ideas into something useful and meaningful. This blanquete was a fun project to work on 20 minutes everyday at 2024.

Yoga helps me slow down, reset, and stay balanced, while music brings joy and inspiration. Picture at Park Güell/Barcelona 2025.

Staying curious.

Reading keeps me curious and gives me new ideas, stories, and perspectives. These are what I am exploring this summer.
