I’m Sarah Doody, a UX Researcher,  Experience Designer, and Founder + CEO of Career Strategy Lab.

I help companies and teams understand the people and purpose behind the products they are creating.

Since 2004 I’ve been leveraging the power of storytelling and research to help teams reduce the risk of re-work and instead, build the right products and features the first time around. 

I’m also the founder & CEO of Career Strategy Lab™ a UX career incubator that helps UX professionals grow their skills, confidence, connections, and sometimes even get hired. 

I’m also the author of the upcoming book, The Product of You, which explores how professionals can leverage design, marketing, and sales strategies to advance their career.

I’ve given talks and lead workshops about UX and Product Development at conferences and events worldwide.

What conference organizers have said:

Productized Conference Logo

Highest rated talk of the whole event!

“In her talk at the Productized Conference 2019, in Lisbon, Sarah Doody showed some examples to define the difference between Anticipatory and Automated Design. She engaged with our 500 plus audience in a way that was both entertaining and instructive, having the highest NPS from our post-event feedback!”

– André Marquet, Productized Organizer

Industry Conference Logo

One of the fastest-selling workshops!

“Sarah’s Rapid Research for Product People was one of the most popular workshops at INDUSTRY: The Product Conference in 2019. While it was a late addition to INDUSTRY, it ended up becoming one of the fastest-selling workshops of the entire conference.

Attendees rated Sarah and her workshop so highly that we can’t wait to work with her again in the future.”

– Mike Belsito, Industry Organizer

People don’t need more information, they need help taking action.

 I design my talks and workshops be actionable, so attendees can leave with tangible things to do, not surface-level information to try and sift through.
