Case Studies

Selected work.

Four studies across mixed-methods discovery, comprehension research, and systems-level persona work. All grounded in evidence, all built around a decision.

Mixed-Methods Discovery · Three Phases

Curriculum Customization Study

Analytics said curriculum leaders were passive. A survey and interviews showed they were doing the most work of anyone, just off-platform, where analytics couldn't see it.

About

I've been doing this
for a while.

13+ years at Lifeway Christian Resources — starting in UX design and development, now leading end-to-end research programs. I've built the products I now research, which changes how I ask questions.

I manage the full research cycle: screeners, Jira-tracked plans, Figma coordination, and stakeholder shareouts. The work is practical, fast, and tied to decisions — not filed away.

"I ask the questions you've been avoiding. That's usually where the real answer is." — Bobbi Martin
