Not a vitamin.
Eight years of UX strategy and research across healthcare, automotive, fintech, telecom, energy, and ecommerce.
Discovery, mixed-methods research, and strategy across healthcare, ecommerce, hardware, software, and AR/VR.
3-phase mixed-methods research lifted projected click-to-sign-up by 18%, cut call duration by 20%, and informed a 3-year product vision for human-AI hybrid service.

6-month future-state research with 40+ SME interviews across gaming, sci-fi, neurotech, and futurism. Findings shaped Honda 0 and Acura brand narratives for Gen Z and established a framework for emotion-driven interfaces.

A retrospective mixed-methods study on EDF Energy's Tableau-to-Power-BI migration. 17 participants across NA, 50+ stakeholders, four departments. Research argued for a revised timeline — and got it.
