Lizzy (she/her) is a marketer, writer, and poet, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Currently, she creates educational resources for user researchers, research ops professionals, and other folks in the UX community on the User Interviews blog. She became a marketer by accident; after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Writing from a small college in Vermont, she applied to every job opportunity she could find with the word “writer” in the title. She cut her teeth on marketing as an agency copywriter, where she learned to approach content as an act of hospitality, shaped by a sense of empathy, generosity, and high regard for the audience. Since then, Lizzy’s written both freelance and in-house content for a wide range of industries, including technology, AI, retail, cosmetics, food and beverage, law, education, and most recently, UX research. Outside of work, Lizzy likes hiking, people-watching, thrift shopping, learning and sharing ideas. Her happiest memory is sitting on the shore of Lake Champlain in the summer of 2020, eating a clementine.

Video producer. Marketing Cheat Codes podcast showrunner. Animator. My main goals are to educate and entertain. At Aprimo, a B2B SaaS company, I am the primary resource for development of video, audio, photography, and motion graphics-based projects across departments. Playing a critical role in the global brand experience through digital media deliverables and processes that guide marketing and field efforts, I have a continued focus on Aprimo’s overall visual representation and customer experience, both online and in-person. My background is in education, events, documentary production and advertising, with projects that have been used at international conferences, screened at major film festivals, played on television, radio, and print. After early work at Leo Burnett and leading student filmmaking programs with Adobe at Cannes and Sundance, I completed a Master of Science in Digital Cinema Production. The classroom was still calling my name, so I taught advanced multimedia courses at a college prep school in Chicago, then moved on to manage the video studio and create curriculum content for the first fully accredited online culinary program. Over the past decade I also worked on large-scale physical events, and spent several years as project manager for a virtual event and live-streaming platform, building digital experiences and global product launches for tech companies, nonprofits, and publishers. When I'm not working or volunteering, you can find me going analog, exploring parks and nature with a film camera in hand.
