Hire the Best UX Researchers
in the United Kingdom

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Barbara, your next UX designer. I design user experiences that solve real problems and scale with purpose. My approach combines systems thinking, strategic research, and hands-on design to create intuitive, high-performing products. With experience across CRO, design systems, and product optimisation, I work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that are not just usable (and pretty) - but measurable, consistent, and user-centred. I believe the best design is human, creative, and thoughtful with a little kick-🍑 energy to keep things exciting. 😉
