Check out my new feature with Dscout! 🔍


Hi Reader,

I’m excited to share that I was recently featured in a dscout article where I talked about some of my key strategies for making sure research insights don’t just gather dust but actually lead to real impact.

One of the things I highlighted is the importance of setting yourself up for success from the start. Over the years, I’ve developed a scoping process that helps ensure that research is positioned to drive change.

"Setting yourself up for success makes a huge difference. To do so, I take myself through a scoping process that I've iterated on throughout the past few years. It’s like doing an internal marketing campaign before the research even starts. That's a research superpower." 💡

In the article, I cover everything from how to maintain momentum after a readout to fostering strong cross-functional relationships, as well as strategies for storing insights so they can be used effectively later on.

If you’ve ever struggled with getting your research noticed, I hope you find the tips I share helpful.

Hi Reader 👋🏾 Let’s talk about research methods.. specifically, diary studies vs. usability testing.These two often get mentioned in the same breath, and I get why - they’re both behavioral. But I see a lot of researchers (even experienced ones) default to one or the other without fully thinking through what decision they’re trying to support. This email is all about getting clear on the purpose of each method so you can choose the one that’s best suited for your goals, time, and resources....
