I’m Annie Voydik, a researcher helping tech companies bridge the gap between their ideas and what users actually need. With 11 years of experience working across research technology, market research, and clean energy, I specialize in designing and executing custom research that leads to smarter product, design, & marketing decisions and better user experiences. 

I don’t just consult, I deliver insights & help teams act on them.

Outside of research, I love curiosity & adventure. Anything to stretch time & step out of routine, whether through travel, music, nature, or food. I spent a year as a nomad, road-tripping across the U.S. with my two cats and (now) husband. When I’m not planning my next off-the-beaten-path trip, you’ll probably find me at a concert, hiking in the Pacific Northwest, or experimenting in the kitchen with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I’m also an identical twin…so there’s another version of me out there!

My Approach

Research shouldn’t slow down shipping. It should be fast, actionable, and built for reality. My goal isn’t to overwhelm you with 50-page reports (unless that’s what you’re looking for); my goal is to give you the insights you need in a format that helps you act on them immediately.

Every research project starts with a plan. I custom-build a version around your business problem to get the right insights. I design and execute research that cuts through the noise, creates real feedback loops, and helps teams make smarter product decisions.
