The normal bio that sounds like a human wrote it

Hi! I am a user experience research leader and the author of Research Practice: Perspectives from UX researchers in a changing field. I am committed to user-centered product development, and I speak about my work at conferences, in classrooms, and at company events. See where I’m speaking next. I also mentor rising user researchers through First Round Capital’s Fast Track program.

I am the director of user research for Hearst Magazines, where I connect the worlds of content creation and consumption. Previously I managed innovative research practices at Condé Nast, Vox Media, and Mailchimp. I also taught design, branding, and typography at Georgia State University. In a previous life, I created album covers for punk and emo bands, and designed for clients in the music and advertising industries. Visit the archive.

I studied journalism at the University of Georgia and earned my MFA in graphic design from the Savannah College of Art & Design, where I focused on user experience research and design. I live with my family in Athens, Georgia, where you’ll often find me on solo trail runs through the forests of the state botanical gardens.
