Hi, I’m Allison!
I turn complex human behavior into insights that drive action.
With a Ph.D. in sociology and experience leading mixed-methods research across global tech companies, AI-native startups, and nonprofits, I study how people think, feel, and navigate the systems around them and turn those insights into action.
I bring a sociological lens to user research, combining rigorous methods with a deep understanding of culture and lived experience.
Whether I’m helping a product team uncover unmet needs or building a research function from the ground up, I’m drawn to complex questions that challenge assumptions and require a deeper understanding of people and the systems they navigate.
My work has shaped experiences used by millions, from Facebook News to Indeed’s Fair Chance Filter. Previously, I was the founding UX researcher at Sizzle AI, where I built the research function from the ground up and led research for an AI-powered tutoring app.
Today, I’m a Staff UX Researcher at Superhuman, focused on Superhuman Docs, where I research how people collaborate and work with AI.
