Most of my research is quantitative as I seek to understand “why.” I can conduct in-lab usability testing as well as remote usability testing. I have experience creating research plans, organizing research, conducting research and creating research reports. Empathy is needed for every step of the process, I use it to understand the end user, but I also use it to understand the stakeholders and designers needs.

(ee-Lee-see-ahh see welz )
I specialize in UX Research & Human Factors Research.
I have honed my knowledge of user-centered techniques and design research through my training in anthropology, years of UX design experience, years of UX research experience, and my design education.
Whether you have a web development plan or need help defining your goals, a key strength of mine is the ability to guide a team through the research process. I start with defining your needs, moving on to picking the appropriate methodology, conducting the research, and reporting back helpful findings. I do this by focusing on practical elements and being transparent with my process.
Utilizing a broad range of skills, I have experience in a wide range of qualitative research techniques, which include remote and in-lab studies. I also have worked with quantitative data that includes web metrics and A/B tests.
