My research toolkit is informed by methods and frameworks from these texts.
These books guide my approach to structuring insights, framing opportunities, and translating user needs into actionable design directions.

These are some of my favorite research tools, but I’m always exploring new methods and approaches to uncover insights and solve design challenges.

I observe users in their natural environment without intervening, capturing authentic workflows, hidden pain points, and subtle habits that directly inform human-centered design solutions.

I systematically observe and categorize user behavior into Activities, Environments, Interactions, Objects, and Users, uncovering patterns, pain points, and opportunities to inform design decisions.

I design tailored interview protocols to guide conversations with users, ensuring questions are clear, contextually relevant, and structured to uncover meaningful insights and unexpected observations.

I plan and facilitate workshops that bring together users, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to co-create ideas, align on goals, and uncover shared insights that drive collaborative design solutions.

I create journey maps to visualize users’ experiences across touchpoints, highlighting pain points, emotions, and opportunities to inform design decisions and improve overall workflows.
