Transferable UX Research Skills
- Discovery research
- Stakeholder alignment
- Define user problem and success metrics
My Process
Building AI products that matter doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens when rigorous product design meets human-centered AI principles, ensuring user trust and system accuracy.

Problem fit, data readiness, success metrics
Traditional product development still matters. AI adds data, model, evaluation, monitoring, and retraining responsibilities that need research leadership.
Why This Matters
Discovery, design, build, test, launch, and iterate still anchor the work. Strong AI products need the same stakeholder alignment, success metrics, and user-centered decision-making as any product lifecycle.
AI introduces data strategy, model selection, evaluation design, bias checks, confidence calibration, and monitoring for model or data drift. The feedback loop changes because the model itself may need to be retrained or re-prompted.
The highest-risk gaps are often evaluation design, bias audits, monitoring, and retraining loops. That is where research can turn probabilistic behavior into evidence teams can trust and act on.
What This Unlocks
Define when AI is the right tool, what success means, and where failure would be unacceptable.
Turn probabilistic outputs into rubrics, quality thresholds, and decision-ready evidence.
Design for confidence, explanations, human control, and responsible use from the start.
Monitor drift, user feedback, and model behavior so the product keeps learning after release.
