About Sean Sabihi

I work to improve user experiences by incorporating insights and content strategy into the product cycle. I have always had a strong admiration and passion for user research and behavioral principles that coincide with digital engagement. With the addition of my certifications as both a human-centered design practitioner and certified scrum product owner (CSPO), I can understand and empathize with a variety of backgrounds; ranging from product owners, designers, and developers that I successfully partner with to help influence product decisions. As a researcher, I generally work closely with all product teams throughout the design process to identify opportunities for improvement, determine best methods to execute research, and analyze results. I am knowledgeable in multiple forms of experimental design including quantitative and qualitative analysis, multiple forms of data synthesis, eye-tracking, wire framing, and survey design. In addition, I’m an excellent communicator who works closely with multiple teams with a common end goal in mind. While my main focus as a UX Researcher is to investigate products and interfaces, I also focus on larger web usability to find content or navigational issues within the site. My experiences with different projects have given me a strong familiarity with social media, good product instincts, a creative approach to research design, and a bold, entrepreneurial attitude.
