Hi! I am Stephanie M. Pratt. UX Research Leader • Privacy‑Focused • 15+ Years Driving Insight‑Led Product Growth

I’m a senior UX research strategist with over fifteen years of experience leading mixed‑method research programs and research‑ops initiatives for enterprise SaaS products. At Blackbaud, I defined baseline KPIs, improved navigation scores by 38%, and introduced an AI‑powered knowledge‑assistant that cut information‑retrieval time. My work blends rigorous quantitative design (A/B testing, large‑scale surveys) with deep qualitative insight (diary studies, contextual inquiry) and a strong focus on GDPR‑compliant data governance.
