Sharon Kaziunas is Design Research & Strategy at ConsenSys. She conduct user research and generate actionable insights to create better experiences with products, services, and organizations. With a background in human-computer interaction, anthropology, and urban studies, I'm passionate about uncovering user insights to ensure that design and engineering work is underpinned by a strong human-centered foundation. Drawing on ethnographic research methods and approaches to design, I am inspired when grappling both with the nuances of human behavior and broader sociotechnical concerns. I’ve worked on a wide-range of emerging technology projects including hearables, computer vision, automotive, proximal discovery, and blockchain as well design projects in healthcare, human resources, nonprofits, and international urban settings. I'm happiest when I get to talk to people in the field, learn about their lives and environments, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to turn that inspiration into something new and useful.
