Shreya Jaiswal

I’m Shreya, a Lead Mixed Methods UX Researcher.

I’ve led research at JPMorgan, Unity, Peloton, and Google (through AnswerLab).

Most recently, I built and piloted my team’s rapid research workflows and agentic AI programs to keep up with fast-emerging methods. Having worked across industries and labs with very different problem spaces, I thrive at turning ambiguous needs and shifting priorities into actionable research plans. Teams make confident decisions because I influence with an evidence-based approach and triangulation across sources partners already trust: data, product, design, and engineering. I built a habit of seeking generalizable principles from my quantitative research that can be applied beyond one study from my background is in behavioral science (UChicago & UC Davis).

In a past life, I studied primates 🦧 (technically, I still do).

  • Fig. 01 · Agentic AI

    Agentic AI Workflow

    Connecting research to content design with AI agents

    Challenge
    Research findings reached content designers slowly and unevenly, often after copy decisions were already made.
    Approach
    I piloted an agentic AI workflow that brought relevant research findings into content design as copy was drafted and reviewed, with researchers checking the agents’ output.
    Impact
    Content decisions drew on research by default, and the pilot showed the team where agents help and where people still need to review.
  • Fig. 02 · Prioritization

    Data-backed MVP

    Feature prioritization with MaxDiff and conjoint

    Challenge
    With limited engineering bandwidth for the year, the team needed to know which features delivered the most user value.
    Approach
    I designed a quantitative MaxDiff study to measure feature importance, followed by a conjoint where participants could choose “no preference” to test how strongly the features really differed.
    Impact
    A clear, data-driven prioritization model that guided roadmap decisions and aligned stakeholders on where to invest.
  • Fig. 03 · Benchmarking

    Usability Benchmarking

    Impact measurement with usability benchmarking

    Challenge
    Redesigning a complex product without standard success metrics like conversion or revenue, and with limited access to user data.
    Approach
    A mixed methods usability benchmark, combining qualitative insight (friction, mental models) with quantitative metrics (time on task, errors, SUS score).
    Impact
    A clear, measurable framework for product success, and a culture of data-driven decisions on the team.

    • 5fewer clicks on average
    • 12%increase in satisfaction
  • Fig. 04 · Segmentation

    User Segmentation

    Data-backed personas through user segmentation

    Challenge
    Teams across the org had each built their own personas, with no single source of truth and little data behind them.
    Approach
    A large-scale survey pairing profiling questions with behavioral questions, analyzed to find segments that matter for the product.
    Impact
    Five data-backed segments replaced 13 overlapping personas, giving teams across the org one source of truth to plan and design from.
    • 380users surveyed
    • 5user segments
    • 13redundant personas removed
  • Fig. 05 · Rapid research

    Workflow Creation

    Building a rapid research program

    Challenge
    Product teams were moving faster than traditional research timelines, so decisions were often made before research could weigh in.
    Approach
    I built a rapid research program at JPMorgan: a standard intake for requests and short-turnaround studies sized to each decision, so teams could get answers within their planning cycles.
    Impact
    Research became part of fast-moving decisions instead of arriving after them, and teams came to research earlier with their questions.
  • Fig. 06 · Methods mentorship

    Quant Mentorship

    Raising the team’s method choices with MaxDiff and conjoint

    Challenge
    Researchers defaulted to general surveys, even for trade-off and prioritization questions that surveys answer poorly.
    Approach
    I mentored researchers on MaxDiff and conjoint principles, including when each method fits and how to read the results.
    Impact
    The team reached for more targeted methods whenever applicable, and prioritization questions got clearer, more defensible answers.
