Blink Pro Bono Project: HERO Index

In the summer of 2021 I oversaw research direction for Blink Pro Bono Program. This program features research and design interns leading the work under the direction and guidance of more senior researchers and designers. The this project our client was HERO Index, a values-based investing tool.

For this program I acted as the hiring manager for the UX Research Intern position where I selected one intern from a pool of nearly 200 candidates. During that summer I acted as the research intern’s manager and mentor and was the project director for all things related to the research phases. This included scoping the project, collaborating with other directors and the client to determine the timeline, and assisting with the development and review of all research artifacts (e.g., screeners, sessions guides, and final reports).
