For agencies & consultancies
Need another researcher in the room?
I'm Dale, a Senior UX Researcher with 6+ years' experience. If your agency needs an extra pair of research hands, I can lead a project, slot into your existing team or simply help when things get busy.
No complicated partnership model. Just experienced research support when you need it.
Sound familiar?
- 01
“We’ve won the project. Now we need a researcher.”
- 02
“Our research team is completely slammed.”
- 03
“The client wants interviews next week.”
- 04
“We need someone senior who can just pick this up.”
- 05
“We’ve got the design capability, but not the research capacity.”
- 06
“We need research in another market.”
That's where I can help.
Three ways to work together
Flexible · Senior · Easy to bring in
Lead it
Give me the problem and I'll run the research.
- Research planning
- Discussion guides
- Moderation
- Analysis & synthesis
- Reporting
- Stakeholder playback
Useful when you want to offer research to your client without running it internally.
Join the team
Already running the project? I'll embed alongside it.
- Works with your designers, strategists and PMs
- Takes ownership of the research workstream
- Uses your rituals, tools and timelines
Useful when you need senior research capability inside an existing delivery team.
Add capacity
Sometimes you've simply got more research than researchers.
- Interviews and usability testing
- Analysis on work already collected
- A specific stage of a live project
Useful for short-term capacity without committing to another permanent hire.
The important difference
No lengthy onboarding.
No big consultancy attached.
- 01You work directly with me — not an account team.
- 02I can run independently or fold into your existing process.
- 03I'm comfortable in front of your client's stakeholders.
- 04I can own the research end to end, or just one part of it.
- 05I can work as The Insight Room, alongside your team, or in an embedded/associate capacity — whatever the project needs and we agree.
I've been in a few rooms already.
Six-plus years of UX and CX research, across product teams, agencies and in-house functions — from early discovery through to usability testing on live products.

That's it.
Not sure what research your client actually needs? Ask The Room is a free 60-second planner — it suggests a method, participant numbers and a rough timeline.
Ask The RoomNothing right now?
Fair enough.
If you occasionally bring in freelance researchers, add me to your research network and give me a shout when something comes up.
Got a project coming up?
Whether you need someone to lead the research or just another pair of hands for a few weeks, let's have a chat.
Or just say hello now so you know who to call when everything inevitably gets busy. 😏
