How I create value as a researcher
Across projects, the feedback I’ve received tends to cluster around a few themes: making research actionable, bringing clarity to complex product spaces, advocating for users in strategic conversations, and being a trusted cross-functional partner.
Research that drives product forward
“Her meticulous and comprehensive findings provided invaluable insights into user sentiment and pain points across Canvas. By distilling complex data into actionable insights, Anna facilitated informed decision-making and consensus-building among stakeholders. Her presentation also led to more momentum and buy-in from product partners on the Canvas Navigation project, which is super exciting!”

Her contributions to vision brainstorms and annual planning sessions were grounded in user pain points and were helpful in grounding the conversation in customer-centricity.”
“There's a lot of different kinds of feedback we could potentially get from users but she's been good at reminding us that the most important thing is to validate that we're improving pain points and that users can solve net new use cases.”

Experiment-led innovation
“Anna has demonstrated strong versatility in the methods she uses for a given research problem, always considering the problem and research questions at hand before defaulting to any one method. With this ability, she has also helped guide teams towards more effective methods than what they might have initially expected or asked for.”
“She used a new format to write the last round of interview scripts that was really helpful. In creating that, she found an easy way for us to contribute and make sure we were validating the right things.”
Clarity in complex domains
"By analyzing all the data and insights gathered recently and historically, Anna provided clarity proactively that helped us focus and identify the most effective interview format for our research. Her talent for simplifying complexity not only helped streamline an interview plan more quickly, but has been instrumental in identifying gaps, enabling me to stay ahead in delivering my components of this research plan.”
“She quickly stepped in to take ownership and demonstrated mastery of a highly complex domain.”
"Anna's work highlights her ability to project manage complex initiatives. She outlined a clear schedule and responsibilities for each team at the start of the research program. Then she juggled liaising with clients and managing timelines for multiple pre-research deliverables at once."
