In a typical research lifecycle, I am in one of these steps. You can scroll inside it if it doesn't fit your screen.
Ways I can help you
End-User Checkpoints
Without research, you just have opinions.
This is the crux of it all in this line of work. I can work independently to fulfill the needs of all stakeholders involved such as business and designers.
Data Visualizations
Filter the noise.
There is a sea to explore. I will dive into the data, and emerge with figures, personas, journey-maps, survey reports, end-user commentary, and my own personal recommendations for progression. It all depends on what you want, though, because these things take time.
Generative/Discovery Research
Don't know where to start?
Well, it begins with research methods: user interviews, contextual inquiries, and surveys.
Iterative Research
Have some ideas?
Let's put it to the test with some prototypes with some usability studies!
Evaluative Research
Need to upgrade? Throw in some surveys, site analytics, and user interviews to turn something into a more modern product.
From big to small clients, two things I always promise:
I operate according to your feedback.
Need me to invigorate the crowd? Keep it short and simple? Maybe elaborate on well-detailed thoughts without boring people to sleep?
Just let me know!

🙋 A few things recruiters normally ask me:
What are you interested in doing?
As long as it's UX research, I don't really have a preference for working in a specific industry or type of product. What matters to me is that I exercise my skills to bring you results, insights, and recommendations.
Who can provide references?

Are you open to relocating?
