I am a UX researcher with academia research experience and over 8 years of industry experience delivering detailed and rigorous research through various research methods to design delightful experiences for the human in fortune 500 companies.
I work closely and involve designers, stakeholders, developers, and data practitioners in all phases of research (whether it be agile or lean research) to ensure that research remains a core foundation that drives decisions.
I have experience leading solo, in small teams, and large teams. I firmly stand with the belief that business needs must align with user needs or else risk failure for all. I am at my happiest working to understand more about complex problems and data-rich systems.
My mentorship expertise lies in:
Research Interview Prep
Resume / Portfolio Critique
Job Transitioning
Academia to UXR
Work/life balance
Research Training
Storytelling
Early Career Coaching
5 out of 5 stars
John is one of the most practical and straightforward mentors I’ve had. From the very first message, he told me he gets straight to the point, no BS, and he’s exactly that. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, especially in UX research and career strategy. Every conversation is direct, focused, and ends with clear action items I can actually follow through on. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to land a role. If you’re looking for someone who brings both expertise and no-nonsense clarity, John is the mentor you want.
