Senior🎓
Top SchoolCurtis Bard is a senior user researcher with a decade of experience turning qualitative insights into product strategy for clients and products across consumer, automotive, retail, and media sectors. At Bose he partners with design and engineering to surface unmet needs, concept-test next-generation features, and guide iterative refinement; previously he led generative and evaluative research at Lextant for enterprise clients like Ford, Chrysler, and Nationwide. Curtis combines ethnography, contextual interviews, and usability testing to translate complex human behavior into actionable roadmaps and alignment workshops for cross-functional teams. He’s equally comfortable briefing executives and running hands-on field studies, and his background in visual communication design gives him a practiced eye for identifying design opportunity. Notably, his early lab research experience and nonprofit design leadership reflect a rare blend of rigorous methodological thinking and practical production skills.
