Hey there!

I’m Aliyah.

[ah-lee-yah] …think Ali or Autumn

I’m a qualitative UX Researcher and I enjoy observing processes, patterns and behaviors while warmly getting to the root of the matter. I have 7 years of cross-functional exposure — including strategy, operations and market research as an entrepreneur while supporting product development at seed- and growth-stage companies. Most recently, I’ve gained 2 years experience conducting rigorous research while working at a big tech company.

I specialize in helping teams navigate product-market fit and expansion into new markets, drawing on my curiosity and empathy to uncover deep context and translating that story into actionable insights.

Work style:

I value collaborative work environments with my design partners and consistent communication with stakeholders. My goal is to gather evidence of confirmation or redirection and have a discussion about the actionable next steps based on feasibility and business goals.

I’m imaginative and practical with an entrepreneurial spirit. I love listening to people across various cultures to understand their perspective, observe their experience and learn from their story.

HOBBIES:

When I’m not working you can usually find me somewhere in nature sitting in a park or hiking. I also enjoy practicing archery, dancing, listening to music, reading, writing, exercising or snacking.
