My Approach to Research

Research is a true passion of mine. The premise of asking, assessing, and attempting to answer questions by incorporating as much context as possible, is something that informs my approach to all aspects of my life, work and beyond.

I have deep experience conducting technology, business/market, and anthropological research, with strong skills in qualitative methodologies as well as survey design, management, reporting, analysis, and writing.

Below are some of the more recent reports, whitepapers, and books I have published as lead author, co-author, or contributing researcher.
