Testimonials

Julie Kim, COO and Co-founder
1585 Capital

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.

Ema Musini, CEO and Co-founder
Pillo Health, Inc

We hired Kay twice as we really enjoy working with her. Her humanity and kindness are essential when testing cutting-edge technology with people who have chronic conditions. Her actionable and detailed reports have been necessary to our product development. Without these findings, Pillo would not be able to fulfill its valuable mission.

Dave Snelling, Senior Product Manager
iRobot Corporation

“Kay was the lead researcher on an important project at iRobot. She quickly picked up the context she needed and began to ask thoughtful questions that improved the research approach. 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.”

Dennis O'Malley, VP WW Services
Moxie 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.”

George Adams, CEO
ViziApps, Inc

“Kay has a unique and deep understanding of mobile user interface requirements. She has really helped our customers improve the user experience for the mobile apps they create with MobiFlex.”

Janet Thai, Director of Product Leadership
Nielsen/Affinova

“Kay’s work at Affinnova was extremely valuable and still is to this day. Her experience in usability testing has helped Affinnova identify a great user interface for respondents. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for usability testing.”

Suzanne Lunny, UX Lead/Interaction/Visual Designer
Monster Worldwide

“During Kay’s time at Monster, she provided interaction design assistance and drove user research. Kay designed and conducted a usability study to find out just how recruiters use search to find job candidates. Her analysis — which delivered tactical results — dispelled some long-held beliefs, confirmed others and identified opportunities for product development. ”

Liz Carver, Editor-in-Chief
Massachusetts Medical Society

“She identified the gaps and barriers where people were getting stuck, and she found ways to make it easier for them. As a result of her excellent research and design our users are able to do things on their own…. She was fantastic to work with, both professionally and personally.”

Lindsay Hyde, Founder and President
Strong 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!”

Gary Lombardo, Director of Product Management
Citrix

“Her user research especially helped guide a more intuitive design. 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.”

Laurie Fernald, Engineering Project Manager
Avaya

“Her expertise produced a user-friendly, intuitive interface. In addition to the design, she took her ideas to customers for feedback. All of this was completed in the very tight timelines.”

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.”

Matt Toolan Director of Client Services
ITCentrix

“Her #1 most valuable contribution was an outside objective voice. Being able to leverage what she’s done previously and come in with a fresh ideas and a fresh perspective on things we’ve been hashing through for a long time.”

Cindy Johnson VP Marketing
Kurzweil 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 Founder
Serial 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.”

Frank Kjaersgaard, Product Manager
Progress Software

“Usability Resources most valuable contribution was the wake up call to the engineering people – the eye opener”

Brent Bultema, Public Relations Director
Mayo Clinic

“Kay delivered what was asked for and more… she gave us more insights than we ever expected on our target audience and into how we can improve the usability of our hospital’s online recruiting effort. She did an expert review of our site where she really put on the end user’s hat and shoes. The results were very clear and complete. We will be able to use her work well into the future.”
