How to Test a Champion

I led the design, coordination, analysis, and presentation of a 2 part character design study that spanned 2 months and hosted over 25 participants. My mixed methods research, in combination with solution-focused reporting, gave the Champion’s team the information they needed to confirm their direction lock and continue to improve usability for players before release.

Transforming LGBTQ+ Research Design

I reconstructed UCSD’s Graduate Well-Being survey to remove offensive material and better communicate with the underserved LGBTQ+ population it was originally meant to reach. Using journey maps, survey design, and primary source research, I was able to transform UCSD’s survey design and influence future research for the graduate program.
