Hey!
Thanks for stopping by, I’m glad you’re here—

Currently, I’m a UX Researcher + Project Manager that specializes in qualitative research in international markets at Loop UX. At Loop UX, I help clients from around the world conduct research domestically and internationally. My role includes strategizing with cross-functional teams the best methodologies for their business goals, facilitating a streamline experience by leading research project operations, executing and overseeing data collection as lead researcher and moderator both within the USA and abroad, and interpreting results from different cultures to understand how to adapt a product/service in the most accessible way for each market. Beyond research, I am a key sales contact point for developing projects with new and existing clients while managing multiple studies as a project manager.

I have a background in psychology (BA), music performance (BM+MM), and UX Design (Career Foundry). My UX research has been informed by years of experience in domains such as psychology, musicology, concert production, music pedagogy, and music performance. What drew me to UX was my passion for connecting with people and problem-solving. My research philosophy follows, "opinions are not facts, and speculation is not evidence" (Philip Hodgson). I strive to put the user at the center of every design recommendation and inform my decisions through rigorous qualitative + data-driven evidence.

When I’m not UX-ing or music-ing, you can find me sipping on green tea in a hipster café, curating music playlists for friends (and taking it way too seriously), or hanging from the side of a cliff sport climbing. D’ailleurs, Je parle français à une competence professionnelle ! N’hésitez pas à me contacter en français. (I speak French too!)

A Few Kind Words…

“I just wanted to say that it’s been a great experience working with you so far. You not only bring great technical input to the project, but I also appreciate your flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests… You’ve been doing a great job in communicating with us (including stakeholders), adjusting to our needs and immersing yourself on our product to make sure we get the best out of this research. Thank you for your great work.”

“The report is already looking damn impressive.

“Corey clearly knows how to moderate research!”

“It's truly amazing how Corey and the team grasp our point of view and come up with such brilliant solutions.”

“Corey (a master of his craft) will adjust and improvise the script according to the user and how things unravel as testing begins.”

 

Student Portfolio

I’ve been asked by mentees and other connections what my first, student UX research portfolio looked like years ago. While my student portfolio piece was only one element that helped me land my first job, it’s still an important component! There’s so much I’d change now, but here’s a peek—
