Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmélie Lamont is a Discovery Advisor with 11 years of experience translating user research into strategic product decisions for enterprise and startup clients. She’s led UX strategy at organizations like AKQA and The New York Times, where her work contributed to substantial revenue and conversion gains, and she now runs User Space Craft to surface high-confidence answers to “should we build this?” before teams commit to execution. Amélie combines rigorous design research (MA from School of Visual Arts) with pragmatic facilitation—running sprints and workshops that have helped win funding and scale products like a UNCDF-backed platform serving 52,000+ farmers. Clients praise her for deep, evidence-driven synthesis (e.g., reading 150 pages of research to distill actionable guidelines) and for shifting programs from mandated builds to products people actually want to use. Based in the DC–Baltimore area, she specializes in turning ambiguous business questions into evolving strategic roadmaps that reduce risk and accelerate impact.
