What our clients say

Michele has terrific skill set and a wealth of research experience. In the year we worked together she’s done it all – from elegant and pragmatic usability studies, to all kinds of workshops, and complex and rigorous user research across the US, UK, AUS and NZ.

In every project she’s displayed her mastery for all things research. I’ve loved working with her and hope to do so again.

— Bert Aldridge, Design Research Director, Xero

 

“When I first started exploring a career in UX research, I felt totally lost.  I didn’t want to make the time or financial commitment to a degree program that wouldn’t necessarily give me the tools I needed, but I didn’t know of any alternative for rigorous training in the basics.

I’m so thankful to have found Michele and Curiosity Tank!  We covered an amazing amount of information and I walked away from the class with a tangible work product.”

— Mia Bruch, Ask Like a Pro Student, Winter 2020 Cohort
