----------

I’m an experienced industry UX researcher with a PhD in human factors psychology. I currently work at Reddit as a staff quantitative UX researcher, with previous experience at Meta, UserZoom, and Red Hat.

I am a mixed-methods researcher by training, with projects ranging from generative personas to usability measurement best practices. Currently, I focus on impacting product teams through quantitative methods, but continue to lead others in executing qualitative UX research projects.

I enjoy helping other researchers up-skill their methods and unblock their best work by assessing how to navigate stakeholders and product team structures.

Everyone in the UX community knows Carl for his incredible contributions to the field, not just through his expertise in research, but also for the way he uplifts and mentors others. I had the opportunity to learn from Carl during a pivotal phase in my career, and his guidance has been nothing short of transformative. His recommendations opened up new dimensions in my thinking and directly influenced how I approach problem-solving as a researcher. Beyond his technical strengths, Carl is deeply generous with his time and feedback. He listens with intent, challenges you thoughtfully, and creates a safe space for growth. I’m incredibly grateful for his mentorship and would highly recommend working with him to anyone growing in UX.

Carl is full of insight and ideas! It was clear he put time into reading my case study prior to meeting; he had already sent notes beforehand but I opted to wait and review them together. My interview is going to look so much different, for the better, thanks to him!
