My Approach

I use a mixed methodological approach to bring to life users and to present the current market & opportunities.

  • Brainstorm

    There is a tendency in research to evaluate only existing products in the market. However, before reviewing existing products or solutions, it is essential to take a step back and first identify the current challenges and issues users face when completing tasks, i.e. establish the jobs to be done (JTBD).

  • Explore

    Use website traffic data, social listening tools, Google trends data & wider desk research to inform on ‘what’ consumers are doing and how ‘problems’ or ‘JBTD’ are currently being served.

  • Understand

    Analyse behavioural data, conduct interviews, user tests, focus groups & ethnographic studies to provide invaluable insights into ‘why’ consumers say and think what they do. 

  • Learn

    Work closely with relevant teams to make product changes and updates to solve existing and newly identified ‘problems’ (or ‘JTBD’) and deliver value to users.

Over 10 years’ experience in analysing user behaviour in digital products across sports, gaming, retail, TV & e-commerce, I am passionate about unearthing key insights to drive change. I was a finalist for Young Researcher of the Year at the 2017 Market Research Society Awards and selected by Broadcast magazine as one of 2016 Hot Shots in the TV Business category.

In 2018 I completed my Masters in Digital Media, part sponsored by UKTV with Distinction, specialising in user centered design and interactive design methods.
