Hands-on support
Hi, I'm Scott. I'm a Senior UX Researcher with 10+ years of experience leading complex research across healthcare, enterprise, and consumer products at some of the most demanding organizations in the world.
I've worked inside the rooms where research either influences decisions or gets ignored. I know the difference, and I can teach you how to be a researcher whose work informs, influences, and moves projects forward.
Who I mentor:
Whether you're just discovering UX and wondering if it's the right career path, grinding through your first few years and hitting a ceiling, or an experienced practitioner trying to stay ahead in a field that's changing fast, I've got something real and practical to offer you.
Right now, the UX field is undergoing its biggest shift in a decade. AI is reshaping how research is conducted, how insights are synthesized, and what stakeholders expect from their UX teams. The researchers who thrive will be the ones who combine fundamentals with the skills to work with, and help guide, AI-powered tools and processes. That's exactly what I help my mentees develop.
Not sure if UX is even right for you yet? That's exactly the kind of conversation we can have.
What we'll work on together:
• How UX research actually operates inside large, complex organizations
• Navigating stakeholders, product teams, and competing priorities without losing your credibility
• Making your research insights land and influence real product decisions
• Mixed methods research: when to use what, and how to defend your choices
• Working with AI tools without losing the human judgment that makes research valuable
• Building the confidence and presence to be taken seriously at any level
• The career instincts and guidance that bootcamps and courses don't teach you
Why my background matters to you:
Most mentors have experience in one domain. I've led research across healthcare (J&J, McKesson), global enterprise (Infosys), consumer products (Netflix), and finance (Arvest Bank), and many other industries where mistakes can be costly in more ways than one. That range means I can meet you wherever you are and help you think across industries, which is exactly the kind of adaptability the market rewards right now.
