I’m a user researcher who thrives on transforming customer thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into actionable insights for teams and organizations. Following my Masters in Human Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech 3 years ago, I’ve worked with design and product teams alike for to provide robust customer understanding in a timely manner to make critical product decisions.
Currently, I work at Amazon on a project I can’t talk about. However, I can absolutely talk about what excites me in user research, my past work, and what opportunities and challenges I’m looking for next.
Feel free to drop me a line. While you’re here though, why not take a look at some of my work, or what else I’m passionate about?
