About Amber McAlpine
Experience Research Manager II at Sporting Goods Company
Hi! I'm Amber. I'm an Experience Research Manager at a sporting goods company where I manage research projects for our digital experiences. I live in Portland, Oregon and try to enjoy all that it has to offer by spending my weekends running, hiking and cycling!
Before graduating college I was fortunate to have 5 great internships across the US from smaller design research consultancies (Lextant, Karten Design) to larger corporations (Honeywell, Kohler, Wrigley). I learned a lot about finding and securing internship positions as well as how to get the most out of them once you get one.
The researcher in me loves talking to people and learning about what interests them. I'm happy to ask you questions to help you figure out what you are looking for, or offer guidance based on what I've learned through my journey as well. Open to other topics depending on what you need! Just reach out and ask :)
