Consulting and collaboration

Consulting for design decisions that depend on real human variability

I work with organizations that need to evaluate fit, accommodation, safety, accessibility, or usability across diverse user populations. My work combines anthropometric data, inclusive design methods, computational tools, and evidence-based design judgment.

How I can help

Applied support for products, systems, standards, and tools

Consulting engagements can range from a focused design review to a custom analysis workflow, tool, or standards-support effort.

01

Product fit and accommodation analysis

Evaluate how well a product, workspace, or system accommodates a target population using anthropometric data and virtual fit-testing methods.

02

Anthropometric data analysis

Select, interpret, synthesize, and apply human body-size data for design decisions that need to account for population variability.

03

Inclusive design review

Identify risks created by designing for averages, simplified percentiles, or narrow user assumptions, and develop better design constraints.

04

Standards and guideline support

Support standards, guidelines, and technical reports with evidence-based methods for evaluating accommodation and human variability.

05

Custom tools and workflows

Develop calculators, data tools, dashboards, and repeatable workflows for internal design-analysis and decision-support needs.

06

AI-assisted design methods

Use AI carefully to help scope design problems, extract constraints, generate candidate specifications, and support human-centered decisions.

Typical outputs

From analysis to a decision your team can use

Every engagement starts with the decision to be supported, the population involved, and the evidence available. The output follows from that scope.
