RESEARCH ANALYST
Blair thrives in moments of meaningful, critical connection—whether that’s with strangers on the other end of a crisis line, or with research participants in a sensitive, online diary study. With a background in psychology and a deep interest in how people think, act, and connect, Blair brings warmth, clarity, and adaptability to every team and project.
From mental health, to impact messaging, to voter outreach, Blair has conducted more than 30,000 one-on-one conversations—each one a small portal into human behavior, perception, and decision-making. These engagements offer a window into what drives people, and how we might reimagine messaging, offerings, and systems to better serve them.
