Hi! I'm Paige!
I am NNG Master UX Certified and recently named one of "37 active UX leaders to follow on LinkedIn in 2025" by User Interviews.com. I am an experienced Senior UX researcher with a background in anthropology and community-based participatory action research. I have training in design thinking and participatory/qualitative methodologies and am particularly passionate about the health and wellness industries. I believe in the power of research (and especially participatory research) to create positive change for communities through empathy, storytelling and human-centered data.
I am currently building the UXR practice for the Prevention teams at RVO Health. My work focuses on the app Wellos + the Quit for Life smoking cessation program. This website displays some of my general UX work; specific UX case studies are available via portfolio interview.
I live on an island in Washington near Seattle - I regularly enjoy cold water swimming in the Puget Sound (see my blog!). I also spend my time painting folk art of my travels, knitting sweaters and hats, hiking, practicing yoga, trail running, backpacking in the mountains and traveling!
I am also a part-time art teacher at the Pacific Northwest Art School in Coupeville where I teach people how to knit their first sweater. My fiber art was also recently displayed at the Island County Art Museum in the "Fabulous Fiber Throughout the Ages" exhibit.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Nicole Hewitt, Head of Client Experience, Senior UX Researcher
"Paige brings a valuable mix of craft and passion to her work as a UX researcher, and I’d happily work again with Paige on any team. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Paige as a member of the RVO Health research team. I knew whenever I had a request for collaboration or knowledge sharing, I could count on her to respond. She truly exemplifies what it means to be part of a team and work towards a common goal. In addition to her research responsibilities, she contributed to the development of RVO Health’s research team through multiple side projects.
Paige worked as a key member of a working group that developed and delivered a trauma informed research guide distributed across the organization. The charter was developed thoughtfully and with input from across the business. The work resulted in a concise, actionable document to support anyone in the organization who does research.
Paige shows strong leadership qualities and a commitment and passion for whatever she is working on. I cannot recommend her enough as a strong part of any team."
