Overview
Driving XR Experiences At Scale
I executed usability research around priority user flows for the Meta Quest headset and mobile devices to improve immersive experiences for millions of users. I moderated study sessions and conducted data synthesis, generating actionable product insights and design recommendations that directly impacted Quest and mobile app experiences across several domains.
Impact
🕹️VR & Mobile Gaming
Uncovered design insights to shape how users earn items through Quest and mobile games.
I led sessions, tracking key behavioral metrics (e.g.time on task and completion rates) alongside attitudinal signals (e.g. ease and satisfaction), pushing the envelope with follow up interview questions.
☝️
I synthesized key findings, presenting insights to senior researchers, software engineers, designers, and project managers to drive stakeholder alignment, shape product direction and elevate user experience.
📃
I held training sessions with new research assistants providing guidance on key areas such as study moderation, data tracking + synthesis, tooling workflows, and stakeholder engagement.
Reflection
🫱🏼🫲🏽Establishing Early Connections
Connecting with the right people early in this large-scale initiative was key to smooth communication and minimizing blockers. Proactive stakeholder engagement helped clarify expectations, align priorities, and resolve potential issues before they escalated. This approach fostered a more efficient workflow and ensured our insights translated into meaningful product improvements.
📝Intentional Insight Framing
For both design and engineering teams, I made sure usability insights were formatted and communicated appropriately for each audience. By tailoring the level of detail, technical language, and focus areas to match each stakeholder’s role, I ensured that everyone could quickly grasp the relevance and impact of the findings. This strategic approach helped drive clearer understanding, faster alignment, and more effective collaboration across teams.
