Fractional Research Lead
I help product teams understand their customers before they build the wrong thing.
Based in Atlanta. Available everywhere.
I’ve spent 25 years talking to people in repair shops, break rooms, and living rooms, so clients save months and real money by not guessing.
“I've worked with plenty of researchers over the years. I've learned it's something that's easy for people to do... poorly. It's incredibly hard to do it well, and no one exhibits mastery of the domain as much as Matt does. He's truly at the top of his craft and it shows up in the outcomes.”
