About
I believe the best insights come from methodological pluralism. Over 7 years, I've run everything from large-scale concept tests to in-home ethnographies for consumer tech companies. I specialize in early-stage innovation research using design thinking principles, and I'm a strong advocate for democratizing research within organizations.
