I help leaders see the move
around the curve.

I find where what customers want and what a business needs overlap — then show why it works and what to do next. I'm not tied to a single method, so I follow each question across whatever evidence answers it.

For fifteen years I've worked at the seam between the customer and the business, across consumer tech, fintech, and SaaS. The work is connecting evidence that usually lives in separate functions into a single read a leader can act on — including the move they didn't know to look for. Today I'm Principal UX Researcher at HubSpot, with earlier research leadership at Shopify and across tech and advertising.

Connect
I bring together evidence that usually sits in separate rooms and find the line running through it.
Find the overlap
The work is locating where what customers want and what the business needs actually meet.
Reason to the cause
I don't stop at what happened. I trace why — so a decision rests on a mechanism rather than a coincidence.
AI
AI hasn't just accelerated research — it has opened up questions that weren't practical to ask before, across evidence types and scales that used to sit entirely apart. What it hasn't replaced is the judgment to know which questions are worth asking and whether the answer holds. The constraint now is imagination: how clearly someone can see what just became researchable, and how rigorously they pursue it.
