About Me
I’m an UX research leader and strategist who blends storytelling with analytical rigor to drive meaningful, user-centered decision-making. I use a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods including interviews, usability testing, diary studies, surveys, analytics, and experimentation to uncover deep user insights, validate direction, and inform strategy across zero-to-one and mature products. With experience leading research across industries and project scales, I partner closely with cross-functional teams to translate insight into strategic clarity and lasting impact.
Let’s connect.

“I had the pleasure of working with Lisa at Meta, where we were both User Experience Researchers. We had an opportunity to collaborate closely on a research study where we co-wrote the discussion guide and divided up the task of interviewing participants to better understand their perceptions of new product designs. Lisa is a detail-oriented, conscientious, and professional researcher, who is well-liked by her colleagues. I highly recommend her!"

"I worked with Lisa at Indeed, where we were on different teams building a new product experience... It was important that we work together because the product was new for both user bases and it provided a unique opportunity to create a holistic picture of the experience. Lisa was always a joy to work with! We collaborated on a branding/visual design study that compared feedback across the two audiences... I’m grateful I had a counterpart who was open to the partnership and committed to creating an experience that worked for both user bases."

“...Lisa is such a positive force on the team. Her energy is contagious and she is such a naturally curious person. She has helped us complete several research projects that have led to a new product launch, which helped the team immensely in terms of understanding the users' point of view. Lisa combines the ability to be a team player with excellent research skills. It has been such a pleasure working with her.”

“It’s rare that you come across someone as warm and excited to collaborate as Lisa. I had the pleasure of getting to know Lisa while working on the same team at Capital One. It was immediately clear to me that Lisa had a great deal of experience managing researchers, as well as a can-do attitude when it came to tackling new projects and striving for perfection. Lisa’s collaborative nature and endless gratitude made her part of our research family in no time – any team would be lucky to have her!”
