Hi, I’m Allison!
I help teams turn complex human behavior into clear product strategy.
With a Ph.D. in sociology and nearly a decade of experience in UX research across startups, nonprofits, and big tech, I specialize in translating how people think, feel, and act into insights that drive better products. I bring a sociological lens to product development—helping teams uncover gaps, challenge assumptions, and design for people in the real world, not just personas.
My work has shaped experiences used by millions—from Facebook News to Indeed’s Fair Chance Filter. Previously, I built the research function at Sizzle AI as the founding UXR.
Today, I’m a Staff UX Researcher at Grammarly, focused on Coda, where I’m reimagining how people collaborate and work using GenAI.
