Background

Hello! My name is pronounced, "Evan" (it's Gaelic).

• I am trained in counseling psychology (B.S.), applied cognitive psychology of human-computer interaction (M.A.), and cognitive neuroscience (Ph.D).
  

• I have over 15 years of experience applying cutting-edge HCI research to a variety of digital contexts.
  

• I have successfully created, onboarded, trained, and managed multiple teams ranging from 2 to 30 individuals.
  

• I have lived and worked in vastly different parts of the USA and worked on a multicultural, international, distributed team, which has afforded me the opportunity to experience a multitude of cultures and viewpoints.
  

Specializations

• Stakeholder management and team alignment. I treat my coworkers and clientele with the same respect that I give my participants.
  

• Diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility in digital products. I am sharpening my Spanish and learning German to better understand the multilingual experience in video games, websites, and apps. I advocate for examining the role of language, culture, socioeconomic status, and neurodiversity in the user experience.
  

• Organizational skills. I have created gold-standard research documents, protocols, and presentations for a variety of circumstances.
  

• Mentorship. I know how critical it is to have a valuable mentor in one's career. I aim to continue developing educational materials, outreach, and mentorship opportunities for those new to the UX Research field, especially in the gaming industry.
