Creating a dialogue around "statements"

As a UX with a strong grounding in analysis and the science that surrounds delivery of solutions I was offered opportunity to engage team of creatives with experience Id built up in cross disciplinary teams I've worked with. The Director of UX was keen to encourage the team to engage with data, in efforts to separate assumptions from observable truths to help the team set off from firm footing.


CONTEXT

As a UX with a strong grounding in analysis and the science that surrounds delivery of solutions I was offered opportunity to engage team of creatives with experience Id built up in cross disciplinary teams I’ve worked with. The Director of UX was keen to encourage the team to engage with data, in efforts to separate assumptions from observable truths to help the team set off from firm footing.

   UK, delivered in the midst of lockdown with a skeleton team. My goal offer fresh perspective
   on some of the challenges we have at hand, which would benefit customers and brand alike.

   world context of the “scale” of challenge the issues presented.

   support conversion rate optimization team. Covering day to day team challenges, removing blockers 
   reported, working with stakeholders to map out needs, and deliver agile ceremonies to bring 
   stability to a newly formed cross functional team. 
+ eCommerce audit - I was approached by the Directors of Digital Marketing and UX - for 
   recommendations on methods available to support internal CRO initiative. I supported product 
   owner with research, analysis, and delivery of refinements to the UK sites over 2022/23.
