I’m not able to share artifacts of my work here, so here are generalized descriptions of real studies I conducted.
Contextual inquiry, generative

Usability, iterative
How and when do users want to learn about the tools they use?
Remote usability study conducted over Google Meet. Simulated use of a popular navigation tool to evaluate designs for contextual learning and in-app suggestions across different scenarios.
Literature review, storytelling, summative
