As the User Research Manager at Deep Silver Volition, I pioneered and executed all strategic and tactical research initiatives on the DLC releases for Saints Row (2022). Simultaneously, I built all aspects of the standalone research program.

Before I became Volition's Research Manager, I was the Senior UX Researcher for PLAION GamesLab, Volition's decentralized, embedded, publisher-distributor research and data science team. Due to GDPR compliance, I have not been able to share images or details for the case studies from my time in this position.

Since I was in the US, but my team and participants were in Europe, I was unsure how nuanced GDPR compliance was regarding information-sharing after company separation. Therefore, I only provide objective, high-level content and my subjective experiences. In most cases, I was a strategic advisor and analyst, guiding junior researchers, leadership, and stakeholders while working through the data.
