@preciouselam
User Experience Researcher specializing in child-centered, evidence-based learning product design.
I’m a user experience researcher with 5+ years applying mixed-methods research and child development expertise to design engaging, evidence-based learning products for Pre-K–12. I specialize in moderating playtests with children, synthesizing behavioral and verbal data, and translating research into product strategy that enhances learning, equity, and joy.
In product settings and nonprofit programs, I’ve led end-to-end studies, rapid syntheses, and delivered personas, journey maps, and executive briefs that shaped MVP features, reduced onboarding friction by 30%, and improved engagement by 30–70% across projects. I’ve also coordinated longitudinal neuroscience research, coding 1,500+ videos and optimizing protocols to accelerate behavioral data synthesis by 30%.
I thrive on cross-functional collaboration—guiding design, engineering, and leadership with clear, actionable insights—and on building culturally responsive, trauma-informed learning experiences that center children and families.
