UX Research

Finding the why behind user behavior

Communication

Turning insights into stories that drive decisions

Agile

Research that moves at the speed of the team

Case Studies

A selection of projects I'm free to share, including academic work and professional projects. Each one tells a story about real users, real problems, and the research behind the decisions.

About Me

I bring the rare combination of research rigor and communication instinct. I don't just find insights, I make sure they land.
