Senior UX Researcher · Human-AI Interaction SME · $$$ Millions in Business Impact · 80%-90% Reductions in task completion times · Mixed-methods research with real impact
Impact, Impact, Impact — that is my mantra.
Mixed-methods UXR with record of impact, leadership, and delivering rigorous yet fast research to product teams. Through partnership building with stakeholders and engaging, clear research deliverables, I've shaped product strategies and design decisions at every stage of the product development lifecycle.
Armed with a background in psychology, I blend secondary research (literature reviews, competitive analysis, digital ethnography) with primary methods (interviews, usability tests, field research, surveys, task analysis, product analytics) to deliver data-driven and actionable insights that benefit user and business.
