AJ Griffies

(they/them)

AJ Griffies is a Senior User Experience Researcher at Workiva with seven years of tangible, applied user experience research work experience at organizations including IBM, Lenovo, and AWS.

Driven by a need to understand and help others through design, they conduct strategic and exploratory research. Their creative, collaborative, and mixed methods approach to conducting research has helped them tackle many complex subject areas - from how parents and children collaborate to shop for computers for school, to how generative AI can help mainframe operators troubleshoot and maintain their systems.

As an openly queer, nonbinary, and disabled person, AJ has a passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion and helps others from diverse backgrounds grow their UX careers. They have completed over 55 individual sessions on ADPList as a mentor since joining in late 2022.

Outside of work, AJ lives in North Carolina with their spouse and their Swedish Vallhund dog. They love watching movies and listening to vinyl records.
