    I'm a User Experience Researcher experienced in conducting impactful user research that has empowered my past stakeholders to make data-informed product design decisions with confidence and peace of mind. I approach my work with the understanding that the success of a product is almost entirely contingent on the degree of user-centricity behind its design. Simply put: if you want to design a successful product, you need to understand the needs, attitudes, and goals of your users; make them your North Star; and success will follow. I am highly skilled in using a variety of research methods to uncover what these attitudes, needs, and goals are in order to help you gain insight into how to best serve your consumers. I'm in the business of creating exceptional user experiences because in a market where there are dozens of viable competitors, only the most masterfully designed products will make it. Whether you're looking to launch an entirely new product or just want to redesign a specific part of your website, I have the experience and skills required to guide your design decisions in the direction of success. And whether you're well-versed in and regularly make user research a part of your design process (good on you!) or you're ready to begin doing so, let's chat and see how I may be of assistance!
