I assist to design and lead UX and service research for teams working in healthcare, wellbeing, public services, and social impact. With a PhD in Design from Politecnico di Milano and 6+ years of hands-on practice, I bring academic focus to real-world projects. My work spans the full research-to-design arc: from in-depth qualitative studies and co-creation workshops to UX audits, journey maps, service blueprints, and interaction design. I've collaborated with patient organizations, healthcare providers, nonprofits, startups, and public agencies: across Europe and remotely. Whether the brief is a complex service ecosystem or a focused digital product, I translate complexity into clear, actionable outputs your team can actually use. What I bring: - Published research and peer-reviewed frameworks on long-term care - Mixed-methods fluency - interviews, workshops, usability testing, surveys, Excel, NVivo - Hands-on UX and service design delivery - Figma, blueprints, prototypes, Miro - Experience bridging clinical, institutional, and end-user perspectives I'm open to research-heavy engagements, UX design projects, and hybrid research + design roles.

More traffic doesn't always lead to more conversions. If users are visiting your website or product but not taking action, the problem is often hidden in the user experience, not your marketing. I'm Bianca, a UX Researcher with a background in Psychology, specializing in UX Audits, Usability Testing, CRO, and Product Research. I help startups, SaaS companies, and e-commerce businesses understand how users think, where they get stuck, and what is preventing them from converting. Rather than focusing only on design, I combine behavioral psychology, qualitative research, analytics, and usability best practices to uncover the real problems behind low conversion rates. My services include: โ€ข UX Audits & Conversion Audits โ€ข UX Research (Qualitative & Quantitative) โ€ข Usability Testing โ€ข CRO Analysis โ€ข User Journey & Information Architecture Reviews โ€ข Heuristic Evaluations โ€ข Product Research & Validation โ€ข Competitor Analysis โ€ข GA4, Microsoft Clarity & Hotjar Reviews โ€ข Actionable Reports with Prioritized Recommendations Every recommendation is based on evidence, not assumptions. Whether you're preparing for launch, improving an existing product, or trying to increase conversions, my goal is to help you make better product decisions with confidence. Let's build experiences your users actually understand and convert.
