MenuAbe Crystal User Experience Researcher at Bluespark Labs
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area
Co-founder, Ruzuku. Ph.D., human-computer interaction & social learning. I've conducted hundreds of user research sessions: interviews, contextual observation, usability tests, etc. Can I help you understand your customers better?
- Reviews 2
I recommended Abe and the team at More Better Labs to one of our largest and most important customers. They were skeptical that they needed User Experience consulting as they equated what Abe did with GUI's. After the initial customer interviews and wireframes, our client could not say enough positive about what Abe and his team delivered. The work was creative, insightful, and clearly made business sense. I will continue to highly recommend Abe and his team to customers who are interested in understanding more about their customers and how they engage with products and brands.

He listens to what his clients need. He acts on those needs in an appropriate way that includes me feeling 'heard' and 'valued.' Rock ON Abe! I look forward to helping Ruzuku blossom to be THE Online University for those ready to learn, laugh and grow!
