A·S

Mixed-methods UX researcher with 8+ years across Meta, Google, Ford, and Verizon, spanning foundational discovery, evaluative testing, and research strategy. A background in cognitive science and computer science lets me move across the full arc of research: framing the right questions, running rigorous studies, and turning findings into decisions product teams actually act on. Lately I've been building AI agents and evaluation tools that extend what research teams can do.
