Hi, I’m Kristin.
I’m Kristin, a UX research and strategy leader passionate about turning messy, complex problems into elegant solutions that matter to people and businesses.
As a leader, I shape strategy through cross-disciplinary collaboration, aligning team visions with business priorities and building breakthrough products through strategic partnerships.
As a researcher, I bring deep expertise in qualitative methods with quantitative integration. Skilled at navigating ambiguous problem spaces and executing high-impact initiatives for teams with diverse challenges and working models.
As a people manager, I balance autonomy with active coaching, creating the structure and opportunities people need to grow and excel in their careers.
Outside of work, I volunteer as a high school swim coach, bringing my passion for mentorship and goal-oriented development to young athletes. I can usually be found on the sand volleyball courts, hiking Colorado trails, or experimenting with new baked goods.
