My name is Stephen Boatright. I am a UX researcher with a background in urban geography and environmental psychology.

My approach to UX stems from a phenomenological perspective that foregrounds the larger context of our experiences including their social, spatial, and temporal aspects. This ensures that users’ interactions with products and services are understood on their own terms rather than through the bias of preconceived notions.

I believe that good UX depends on transparency and proactive collaboration among team members. I make sure to extend my empathy both outward to end users and inward to stakeholders and team members.
