Hi, I'm Kamz! πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

Your friendly, neighborhood remote UX researcher & strategist. I’m rigorously collaborative and aggressively optimistic.

I’ve been told by teams and fellow researchers I’ve worked with that my UX workshops are β€œmust-attend!” and actionable and that I’m the GOAT at aligning teams, storytelling and inspiring people to care.

Don’t get me started on presenting research insights… let’s just say engineers, designers, PMs, support teams, data scientists and c-suite folks have said things like β€œthat was badass!”, "ship it!" β€œomg yes let's add those UX recs to the roadmap” and β€œI want to be like Kamz when I grow up!”

Though I am proud of the work I'm blessed to do, I'm especially proud to be mommy to a feisty 2-year-old, a curious 4-year-old, and a very large, very cuddly Goldendoodle.

Methods I adore
Usability Testing In-depth Interviews Diary Studies Ethnography Survey Design UX Workshops Journey Mapping Thematic Analysis Research Strategy A/B Testing RITE Studies Storyboarding Questionnaire Design

I devour 80-100 books a year
Mostly romantasy and sci-fi. Currently working through The Workshop Survival Guide β€” because you can always workshop better.

Remote for 7+ years
Thriving remotely since before it was cool. Some of my favorite moments have been meeting teammates IRL. People are always better in person.
🌍
50+ countries & counting
I've traveled across North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Every place teaches me something new about how people think, live, and connect.
