Strategic UX Research & Design

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.”
– Arthur Conan Doyle

As technologies evolve, the central challenge of user experience remains the same: improving human lives. I’m especially drawn to domains where wicked challenges are the norm rather than the exception, including education, healthcare, and law. 

I believe the best design insights come from talking to real people in context. Great design is impossible without a diversity of perspectives. Every interview, site visit, survey, or usability test brings unexpected insights. That’s why at the core of my work with clients and users is a commitment to collaboration and communication. Let’s learn together!
