I help your team go from uncertainty to strategic impact through research and storytelling

Hey there! I’m Christine, a full-stack design researcher. I translate data into actionable insights that business leaders use to inform successful product and service strategy, and I strive to demonstrate how keeping real people and their needs at the forefront of decision-making supports the bottom line and achieves business goals.

Featured case studies 🔎 

I’ve done research with all kinds of people! Think preschoolers and teachers to restaurant owners, credit card users, and tattoo artists.

For a sneak peek at how I’ve partnered with product teams to better understand and design experiences for these kinds of users, read these case studies:
