I’m Randy Lynn, Ph.D.

I study how people think, feel, and act—bringing the depth of sociology, the clarity of an author, and the curiosity of a UX researcher to design better experiences.

UX Research & Human-Centered Design

At the heart of UX is empathy. My background in sociology means I’ve spent years studying how people live, decide, and adapt. As a UX researcher, I translate those insights into actionable design recommendations that make products intuitive, useful, and meaningful.

Books That Explore Society and Change

Before pivoting into UX, I wrote books that explore how people navigate complexity—socially, politically, and personally. That same curiosity drives my design research today

About Me

sociologist → Author → ux researcher

I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology and spent years studying how systems shape everyday lives. As an author, I transformed those insights into accessible books on society, activism, and personal growth. Today, I bring the same passion for people and clarity of storytelling into UX research—bridging human understanding with design innovation.
