AI Integration in UX Research

Operationalized AI within UX research workflows to reduce analysis time by 3–5 days per study while improving consistency and scalability of insights.
3-5 Days Time saved per study
40% reduction in analysis effort
Cross-Team Adoption across research workflows

Context

As research demand increased across multiple product teams, traditional qualitative analysis workflows became a bottleneck. Synthesis was time-intensive, inconsistent across researchers, and difficult to scale.

The opportunity was to introduce AI in a way that accelerated insight generation while maintaining research rigor and trust in the output.

My Role

Strategy & Systems Lead

Defined and implemented AI-assisted research workflows across the team.

Focused on integrating AI into synthesis and analysis processes while establishing guardrails to ensure consistency, accuracy, and responsible use.

Partnered with researchers and product teams to evolve workflows and ensure outputs remained actionable and trustworthy.
