Summary
Dustin Hodge is a design researcher with 11 years of experience blending user research, UX design, and usability testing across public-sector and enterprise products, currently shaping Dynamics 365 experiences at Microsoft. He holds dual BS degrees in Applied Math and Informatics and dual Master’s degrees in Information Science (HCI) and Urban Planning, which give him a rare mix of data-informed research chops and systems-level thinking about cities and services. Dustin has a track record of leading contextual interviews, benchmarking, and iterative usability studies that translate into actionable product decisions, and he often wears multiple hats on small teams—from IA and prototyping to project management. Much of his work has improved civic services and university systems, and he brings a practical interest in designing for public good (and occasionally board games) that keeps his approach user-centered and creatively curious.
