Where are the UX designs?
Not sure why a research portfolio should differ at all from a graphic portfolio?

5-minute UX Mysteries
When you look at a graphic arts portfolio, you expect to find a series of meaningful graphics.
When you look at a research portfolio, you should expect to find a series of meaningful stories.
This portfolio reads like something from Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. Real-life UX cases are presented as 5-minute UX mysteries that you can try to solve yourself. All of the clues you'll need are right there. Try thinking like a consulting researcher, and see if you can find the answers.
You'll be able to read more of these UX mysteries in my upcoming book.

Tutorials on three of my original UX tools - coming soon
Here are short explanations of three of the tools I developed, used, and taught around the world.
Anyone is welcome to use these tools. Please contact me if you want additional guidance.
This ethnographic data extraction method turns interviews into goldmines.
Please note that this dates back to my need to train a novice in how to conduct ethnographic-style interviews for a project at the National Research Council of Canada in 2004 and that, years later, Maddie Graff at LinkedIn made it look better than it ever had before.
The Periodic Table of Heuristics turns the art of UX into a science.
Please note that this dates back to my attempts to model and categorize human factors in HCI at the ICE consortium between 2011-2014 and that, years later, Lukas Esterle, (then) in the ALICE group at Aston University, made it look better than it ever had before.
The UX/UI Hazard Map uncovers and displays the issues that need fixing.
Please note that this dates back to a hazard mapping project I ran while working as the Human Factors Specialist in Aviation Safety Intelligence for the Government of Canada from 2008-2009 and that, years later, Johnathan Anderson at Evolv made it look better than it ever had before.
Still haven't found what you're looking for?
If you don't care about any of this, and just want to see whether I mention the unintelligible keywords you have on a list, well, then please send me your list.
I'll be happy to explain the terms and tell you whether or not I work in that domain.
If you'd like to see illustrations of any particular skill, please drop me a line.
