Research & Writing

Research

Translating questions into information,
and information into insights.

I am trained in conducting end-to-end mixed-methods research.

I am proficient in all phases of research:

• Research question generation

• Data collection

• Data analysis

• Reporting

I specialize in qualitative methods, conceptual work, and research methods.

I do theory testing...

And theory building, including using grounded theory.

I am also skilled in experience research.

I combine traditional techniques (participant-observation, interviews) with philosophy (phenomenology: the study of "what it's like") to draw fresh insights into things like

• Decision-making

• Employee satisfaction

• Sensemaking

• Human connection and relationships

• Well-being

These techniques are useful in scientific investigation for peer-reviewed publications, as well as in industry for market research, UXR, and organizational effectiveness.

If you need methodological rigor, I'd love to work with you. My philosophy background gives...

• Comprehensive insights into validity, researcher and participant bias, and contextual considerations.

• A keen eye for sound logic.

• The ability to see overlap in seemingly disparate things.

• The ability to detect when apparent conflict is actually due to misaligned assumptions-- and the ability to identify those assumptions.

Writing

Whether producing a report, paper, or peer-reviewed manuscript, I can help.

• Dig deep into the heart of things to understand your ideas.

Even the best ideas get lost when others can't understand them. I partner with academic researchers, students, organizations, and other writers to copyedit, edit, and co-author. We...

• Organize the concepts to enhance your ideas.

• Communicate them effectively, without losing your voice.

I've worked on everything from textbooks and peer-reviewed journal articles, to class papers and dissertations. I also write branding and biography content.

What collaborating actually looks like

It can happen several different ways.

Maybe it's as simple as, you send me a draft and I return it with revisions.

Or maybe we meet to discuss more in-depth clarifications.

It all depends on your project and what you are looking for. This can morph and change as the project develops.
