Hi, I’m Ian! 👋

I am a Senior UX Researcher at Weedmaps, where I help build and ship world-class products built to serve human needs.

Creativity is about connecting observation with imagination.

Ohai, it's a me, Ian (photo of Ian) 👋

Experience, methods, and tools

both in-person and remote

I am comfortable with a range of mixed methods research from qual to quant, and often select multiple methods which complement one another

• I have directly presented my findings to a few gajillionaires and countless c-suites
• I have contributed to projects ranging from business strategy through to development
• I am self-managing and have led research projects from estimation through final delivery
• I recruit equitably with a mind toward inclusion, vulnerable populations, and user jobs
• I have extensive experience collaborating on high-performing cross-functional teams
• I collaborate with designers, developers, and product stakeholders on every project
• I carry forward key opportunities into product iteration and evaluation

But don't take my word for it...

*"It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Ian.

Their commitment to human-centered design, thoughtfulness towards asking the most important questions, and ability to detect the critical signals among all of the data they collected really helped our team with some high-priority decisions. Moreover, Ian’s research informed our team’s roadmaps going forward.

They were able to adapt to working across different types of materials - a live product, the product in staging, and prototypes - to gather an incredible amount of insights.

5 stars: would definitely collaborate with again!
