for research teams who take the work seriously

Claude training and consulting for user research.

I work with teams to build Claude workflows, custom Skills, and AI systems that respect what makes research worth doing in the first place.

Because speed matters. But so does being right.

About

Hi, I'm Nikki. I help research teams use Claude properly.

I run The User Research Strategist. I help teams move faster with Claude, without making their research shallower.

I've led research at Zalando and Olapic, taught user research at Pratt Institute, and now spend most of my time training teams at Bosch, Experian, HelloFresh, and GOV.UK on everything from insight writing to AI workflows.

The User Research Strategist is a small, focused practice. Everything I teach is designed to help researchers adopt AI without losing the craft that makes research worth doing.

Team training

Flexible, focused sessions for research teams.

Three ways to work together, each one built around your team's actual work. Real interview guides, real synthesis, real reports. Not a demo of what Claude could theoretically do.

Claude Training for Teams

A hands-on session using your team's real research files. We cover the workflows that matter for researchers: synthesis, reports, stakeholder communication, and the small decisions in between. Not a demo. A working session your team will actually use on Monday.

Build Your Team's Claude Skills Library

Your team already has the good stuff. Interview guides, synthesis templates, report structures you've spent years iterating on. We turn them into custom Claude Skills your whole team can use. Live, together, with your actual files.

Claude for Research Leaders

For heads of research deciding how their team should use AI. We cover what to standardize across the team, what to leave flexible, what to actually worry about, and what to stop worrying about.
