Hi, I’m Beth. I am a naturally inquisitive researcher with over a decade of experience applying my anthropological training to digital, corporate, and natural spaces.
WHAT I DO:
I work with clients and teams to solve user problems, whether the goal is to understand foot traffic at a zoo, improve collaboration at work, or help inform design of a website. I have worked with non-profits, small start-ups, and Fortune 100 restaurant chains, consumer goods manufacturers, healthcare, and technology companies to better understand their different audiences and their needs. My guiding principle is to always advocate for the human.
HOW I DO IT:
Rather than use one data source or one approach, I prefer to use multiple methods to look at the entire user/customer/seller ecosystem to understand the numerous different factors that go into a decision-making process. I like to work collaboratively, adapting to a team’s style. I help translate user perceptions, experiences, and other insights into actionable to-do’s and strategy for teams, and guide teams to do it themselves.
