Kay has an amazing ability to connect with older women and establish their trust so they are willing to share deep emotions and experiences. Her research delivered rich and actionable insights into the lives of the women in our panel, especially around their experiences as caregivers. Her work will provide great value for our company as we develop new products and services that help people age well.
Lindsay Hyde, Founder and PresidentStrong Women Strong Girls
"It was a true pleasure having the opportunity to with with Kay Corry Aubrey. Kay helped Strong Women, Strong Girls to conceptualize and then develop a smart phone application to allow us manage attendance for our mentoring program. We did not have software engineering resources within our agency, so Kay formed a partnership with MobiFlex on our behalf and secured donated services from them to build the application. As a part of her work with us, Kay held focus groups with our constituents to help us understand their needs, ensured that the project moved forward from concept to implementation, and worked closely with our team to debug user interface problems as they arose. Thank you so much for your great work for SWSG!"
Kevin McCarthy, Director of Product Management Trillium Software
"Kay was great to work with. She took the time to understand our business, and to learn what we do and for whom. She is easy to work with, wonderful - always easy to communicate with.... Kay helped us develop a baseline and standards that we use going forward in developing the UI."
Cindy Johnson VP MarketingKurzweil Educational Software
"The engineers had limited experience with usability testing, so Kay's expertise in that area was very helpful. She didn't have any predisposed opinions about our product when she started and her neutral perspective throughout the project proved to be effective. At the end of the testing she was able to say, 'here are my recommendations and why' and they were well-received."
Dave Vellante, CEO and FounderSerial Entrepreneur
"Kay's work addressed problems that we would never have seen on our own. Her process helped reduce and eliminate usability issues. No question, her work improved the quality of the product - its ease of use."
Dennis O'Malley, VP WW ServicesMoxie Software
"Usability Resources provided Moxie Software with a third party, unbiased usability study on our software platform. Their methodology was very effective and their ability to gain the perfect respondents quickly was impressive. They provide fantastic, detailed insights - yet were also able to synthesize results and provide strategic recommendations. Their deliverables were top notch. Moxie gained valuable insights, great project management, and a partner in the process. I can't wait to do our next project with Kay and her team."

Kay was able to work closely with our product management and engineering teams to not only to design the UI for the next release of our product, but also lay the foundation for a more robust user experience in future releases. Kay did a great job and I would highly recommend her for user experience design."

Along the way, she regularly provided valuable updates on findings and also built great expertise and credibility within what can be a challenging technically-oriented organization. Kay became the go-to person for customer knowledge on the topic. Ultimately, Kay made the project a success."
