CASE STUDY / PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Google Ads Recruiting Overhaul:

August 2026

01 / PROBLEM

Researchers struggled to accurately capture participant attitudes towards advertisments, leading to recruiting slowdown and poor-fit participants.

02 / DEFINING THE SOLUTION

Working in tandem with a colleague, analyzed all completed Google Ads studies and identified areas for database process improvement and the need for participant screener overhauls.

03 / ACTIONS TAKEN

Designated schema for storing participant data for later recruiting reuse. Additionally, wrote a new standardized Ads recruiting screener, adapting a new theoretical framework for ads attitude.

04 / OUTCOME

Resource cost of filling Ads studies has already fallen 10% in recent studies due to smarter database utilization and a better understanding of participant quality.

Mini-Portfolio: My UX Tweaks to ASU sites

This is a small assortment of other tweaks I’ve made or proposed while working at Arizona State University on the Brand Strategy team.

Curiosity, with a purpose.

I’m interested in how people experience the world around them, and how a better understanding of their needs can help teams make informed design decisions. My interests span UX Research, UX Design, and the operations that make research more useful and sustainable.
