About Oscar Myre

I build and lead UX Research programs that turn donor and user insights into actionable decisions. I validate and challenge designs to keep them user-centered, create research communities and insight libraries, and use AI to make research faster, smarter, and more impactful.~-)

Experience

1. User Experience Research Program Manager

   World Vision USA

   Sep 2023 — Present

   Built and scaled a full-fledged UX Research program combining foundational (exploratory/research-driven) and functional (usability/evaluative) research to support design, product, and donor-engagement initiatives. • Elevated UX research to a strategic discipline across teams — established standards, embedded research in planning cycles, and drove data-informed decision making. • Launched and managed a donor research community (“Friends of World Vision”) to enable hands-on testing and continuous feedback from real donors. • Standardized research methodologies and documentation (e.g. insight libraries, decision maps, action pipelines), improving clarity and adoption across stakeholders. • Leveraged AI tools for research synthesis, participant recruitment, and sentiment/qualitative-data analysis — dramatically reducing analysis time and increasing insight quality. • Created and maintained an Insight Repository & Research Library — empowering cross-functional teams to reuse findings, reference personas, and integrate past research into new projects. • Mentored designers and product managers on asking better research questions, interpreting data, and applying insights — boosting cross-team research utilization. • Translated complex user and donor behavior into actionable business recommendations — influencing fundraising strategy, design roadmaps, and executive decisions.
