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.

Hey Reader, I want to share something I see all the time when I’m coaching UX researchers through interviews. It’s not that people are unprepared. It’s that they’re answering the surface of the question… not what’s actually being evaluated.

But what the interviewer is actually trying to understand is:...

But then you sit down to synthesize…And things start to feel a little unclear. You have quotes. Notes. Opinions. But not always clear, decision-ready insights. If you’ve ever been there, same 👀 And it’s exactly why I’m excited to be partnering again with User Interviews for a live, FREE workshop: The...
