My work style

Excellent communicator (literally have a Masters' degree in Communication with a focus in research and theory)
- Skilled in workshop facilitation, stakeholder management, presentation of results and pitches
Generalist UXer ("eternal dabbler" means I like to try everything at least twice)
- I work on a small team and touch the entirety of the end-to-end process, including research, wireframing, prototyping, developer go-between, stakeholder management, CX troubleshooting, WordPress admin, data tracking, KPI reporting, and live event representation.

My personal interests

Joiner of committees - I love to help run the projects and groups of which I'm a part!
Roller derby! Going on 10 years as a skater and four as a coach

Testimonials

Here are some things people who work with me have to say about my work:

"...I can't think of someone I would rather have on the team when it comes to researching and defining problems and coming up with a wide range of creative solutions...

Liz puts together cross functional brainstorms and workshops that have just the right amount of structure to help others capture their own ideas while not putting so much structure in place that creativity is limited.

Her ability to synthesize ideas and present them is nothing short of impressive. I feel incredibly fortunate to have someone like her around."
