Good to
meet you.
Using a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods I work with designers, developers, and fellow researchers to understand and improve experiences.
For some projects this involves tinkering with existing products and services and for others it is defining a new experience or reimagine what is possible.
Conducting research with human subjects has its challenges and I have proactively worked closely with IRB to uphold moral and ethical standards for research. My participants well being is at the center of all research I conduct.
I am passionate about collecting and reporting data in novel ways. My goal is to take the mystery out of human centered design research allowing others to see first hand the value of research. It's amazing to see what we learn by asking questions and keeping an open mind.
