  • Execute customer research/stakeholder interviews, market research, data analysis, HCD workshopping, co-creation workshop facilitation, concept generation, ongoing multimedia storytelling, and transformation design sprints.
  • Analyze objective research data sets to focus on potential gaps and then design, plan, lead, and execute human-centered research and design sprint teams to test hypotheses, uncover latent needs, insights, and constraints.
  • Utilize a diverse range of best practice research methodologies for all phases of HCD research. Examples may include: in-context observations, ethnographic interviews, surveys, analogous research, data analytics, usability evaluations, workshops, etc.
  • Create client-ready deliverables from conception to presentation
  • Coordinate with project leadership on direction and progress of project activities
  • Work in a team environment, being open to others ideas and working collaboratively to produce well-rounded solutions/deliverables
  • Be flexible as project scope evolves
  • Elevate risks to Team Leads
  • Be a strong critical thinker who sees the big picture while staying delivery-driven
