"Caitlyn’s natural curiosity, deep expertise in the human perception of sound and music, and strong analytical and research skills make her an invaluable collaborator. Her thoughtful, cooperative approach has made working with her a true pleasure. In a world dominated by visual information, sound, rhythm, and music offer a rich and evolving palette for expression and communication. Caitlyn’s work in this emerging field is both innovative and essential, bringing much-needed expertise to a discipline poised to shape the future of user experience."

Stephen Hess, VP, Products & Engineering, MedRhythms

"Caitlyn brought invaluable outside perspective, free from our creative biases. She broadened our thinking and provided solid reasoning to inform design decisions. In particular, she referenced studies about ux sound in hospitals. I was familiar with some of that research but hadn't made the connection to our project. It was a great cross-industry insight that clarified our approach."

Wesley Slover, Sound Designer, Sanctus

"Caitlyn has a rare ability to translate complex sonic phenomena into meaningful, actionable insights that translate well across areas of expertise. Her research pushed our thinking further and brought greater clarity to the areas we were exploring throughout our engagement."

Jeff Larson, Chief Product Officer, Moodsonic

"Caitlyn's passion for exploring how sound and music can impact one's experience of products and other tools is infectious. Her approach to discovery and the craft of sonic UXR has helped shape our research surrounding an open question of how users would best like to discover new content. We would love to work with her again!"
