Our Testimonials

In my years of design research, I have found recruiting research participants to be one of the biggest challenges and Ashley has been most integral to this effort. Her ability to find even the most niche target audiences—from forklift drivers to building managers, and so on—has been extremely beneficial for the studies I've conducted and directed.

Ashley is detail-oriented, well-spoken, resourceful, and dependable especially when solving recruit challenges. I fully appreciated and depended on her expertise many times as she was always the first person, I reached out to for recruitment questions and second opinions. Her presence ensured I could focus on study and design activities without worrying about our recruitment status.

VidaUser Experience Designer & Researcher

I had the privilege of working with Ashley on several projects. Regardless of how difficult the recruitment criteria and process were (e.g., conducting in-home interviews post-pandemic or finding niche skilled tradesmen), she always managed to make it happen. She didn't just find people; she found high-quality participants.

JaredUser Experience Researcher, Senior Associate

Ashley is an invaluable asset to research teams, providing strategic and smooth recruits. Her expertise in recruiting, both nationally and internationally, significantly enhances our ability to focus on client needs and increases our efficiency and effectiveness. Her meticulous approach and deep understanding of the recruitment landscape allows us to fill our studies with high-quality participants, directly contributing to the success of our projects.

In addition to her professional skills, Ashley is a joy to work with. She is always accessible and approachable, making collaboration seamless and enjoyable. Her smart and creative ideas bring fresh perspectives to our recruitment strategies.

LindsayAssociate Director, Design Research

Research can only happen if we have the right participants recruited, and Ashley did an amazing job to ensure we have quality participants. Ashley was resourceful in utilizing online tools and connections to ensure our interviews started on time with the required participant pool. Her attention to detail is astronomical and she will go above and beyond on any task she is handed.

ZoeyDirector of UX Research & Strategy

Ashley was exceptional at filling challenging research recruits through her creativity, proactive approach, and diligence. Ashley’s expertise also made her a valuable advisor to research teams, helping them craft effective study recruit screeners. Her friendly, timely, and collaborative nature made her a joy to work with.

PilyDesign Researcher & Strategist

Simply put, Ashley is brilliant. I work as a qualitative researcher in the design industry, and for any project may be searching for "extreme" perspectives, people who may be outliers in the bell curve, or have very specific walks of life. Often times I am looking for them anxiously because I needed to have interviewed them yesterday. Without fail, Ashley has helped me with all of this and has been communicative, clear, professional, and urgent.

Specifically, Ashley has helped me with recruiting people, yet also has worked with me to modify the screener by which to find them, put together a team of recruiters to make this job easier, and has managed all of the behind-the-scenes logistics. Her skills and personality transform even the most hectic, multi-faceted projects into smooth and easy experiences for everyone involved.

YuriHuman-centered Design

Ashley and I worked closely together on numerous research projects with challenging recruit needs. In those efforts, her initiative and outside-the-box thinking was a critical asset. Our research delivery team could confidently hand over recruiting needs for Ashley to largely direct on her own, designing and reviewing screening criteria, tracking progress, and communicating with external recruit partners. Even with this autonomy, Ashley was always unafraid to ask questions for additional clarity when needed. Additionally, she has the ability to foresee and proactively address. Her deep knowledge of the field enables her to be thoughtful and efficient with regards to key project constraints such as timelines, budgets, and client needs. She is a great person who cares deeply for those she works with and is consistently motivated to grow.
