OVERVIEW Many teams know something isn’t working in their product—but they’re missing clear evidence for why and what to do next. That’s where I come in. I’m a senior UX Researcher with 15+ years of experience helping product teams make confident decisions using quantitative and qualitative user research. I specialize in turning ambiguous questions into measurable insights that directly inform product strategy, usability improvements, and roadmap priorities. What I help clients with: - Quantitative UX research (task success, completion rates, error analysis) - Usability testing (moderated & unmoderated) - Survey design and analysis - Information architecture testing (tree tests, card sorting) - Research synthesis and insight storytelling - Actionable UX reports with prioritized recommendations How I work: I often use an explanatory sequential approach—starting with quantitative data (analytics, surveys, task metrics) to identify patterns, then layering in qualitative research to understand the “why” behind user behavior. This ensures decisions are grounded in evidence, not assumptions. I’ve led research initiatives for organizations including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Visa, Silicon Valley Bank, MetLife, Teladoc Health, and BAL—working closely with product, design, engineering, data science, and compliance teams in highly regulated environments. Who I work best with: - SaaS and digital product teams - Fintech and health-tech companies - Startups preparing for scale - Teams that need clear, defensible UX insights—not just opinions If you need research that drives decisions (not just decks), I’d be happy to help.
