Mixed-methods UX researcher. Ontario, Canada.
For ten years, one question:
Whose voice is missing?
Products often get designed only for the voices already at the table. I've worked in usability, accessibility, and privacy, where that exclusion shows up first. Now, I support decisions in the public and private sectors with research that connects user needs to product strategy. I mix qualitative depth and quantitative rigour to make sure people's voices are heard. And I explore how AI fits into UX research effectively and responsibly.
Product Research
Teams set product strategy with confidence when they understand what users need. I start with the research the organization already has. Then I interview the leaders shaping the direction and the users living with the product. Teams get requirements developers can build against. I stay involved through early design so the findings reach real decisions.
Read about how I inform product strategyConcept testing shows whether a design direction has real potential. I run moderated sessions on wireframes, sketches, or mockups. I probe past first reactions to find out what users are ready to adopt. Teams learn this while changing course is still cheap. Findings shape what gets built next.
Read about how I test designs with usersUsability testing shows teams what is actually causing friction. I run moderated and unmoderated studies with real end users. I rate each issue against established heuristics to guide backlog prioritization. Teams get a ranked set of fixes and video clips to help make the problems tangible for the people who decide what to build.
Read about how I work with dev teamsBenchmarking turns user behaviour into numbers leadership can act on. I run task-based studies with the same protocol on the legacy product and the redesign. Teams see exactly how much the experience improved. Repeat the study and the numbers become a trend line. Leaders can track how the product performs over time.
