The crew
03 · Senior UX Researcher at Shopify
It’s one part of how I work. At Shopify I study Shop App, Shop Pay and buyer growth. For merchants, it means fixing the real problem, not the loudest one.
I find what’s really breaking for users, and improve it with data.
From a 4,200+ ticket review: 37% of dropshipping “out of stock” tickets were really shipping setup errors.
