I'm a senior UX researcher with 10+ years of experience helping product teams reduce risk and make smarter decisions before they build. I've led research at companies like Sanity and CloudBees, built research practices from scratch, and worked across SaaS, e-commerce, DevOps, and the nonprofit sector. I'm based in Lisbon and available for US Eastern hours. For product teams and startups, I offer: ✔ Foundational user research (interviews, surveys, diary studies) ✔ Concept and usability testing ✔ Research advisory — guidance on research design, methods, and communicating findings to stakeholders ✔ Research practice building — helping early-stage teams establish a research culture and understand how to leverage AI I also support graduate students and research-driven professionals with: ✔ Research question development ✔ Study design (qualitative and mixed methods) ✔ Interview and survey design ✔ Literature review structuring and research synthesis ✔ Argument clarity and academic writing coaching ✔ 1:1 research clarity sessions I hold a Master's from the University of Chicago (Social Sciences, 3.96 GPA) and a BA from NYU (Sociology and Spanish, Summa Cum Laude), and I've spent years as a writing tutor and research advisor alongside my professional research career. A note on academic integrity: I do not write papers, theses, or dissertations on behalf of students, complete graded assignments, or produce work intended to be submitted as a client's own. I provide guidance, feedback, and skill-building so you can produce work you understand and can confidently defend. If you're looking for a rigorous research partner, whether you're building a product or finishing a dissertation, I'd love to connect.

🙋‍♀️ I'm a UI UX Designer / Product Designer with 4+ years of experience in building B2C digital products (mainly E-commerce and SaaS) with lots of data display. I also have experience in UX Research. I can help you achieve your business goals through design! 🔎 Currently open UI UX Design and UX Research opportunities. (have other opportunities? don't hesitate to contact me!) 📈 I have handled products with high traffic (1 mio page visits per month) and handled many type of personas including the low tech savvy ones (ex: 6k low tech savvy, older age users). I also have experienced in creating products for thousands of operational teams and field agents. 📕 My design workflow: 1) Requirements gathering by doing UX Audit & Competitor Benchmarking or UX Research: - If you already have a website/app, I will conduct UX Audit based on experts’ UX guidelines, to find out problems in your website and propose for improvements - If you don’t have website/app, you can share your reference to me. If you don’t have reference, I can help you find up to 3 websites as a benchmark to find out what features should your website have, the flow and the structure of the website. - or If you have extra time or want a more accurate result, I can conduct quantitative and qualitative research to gather requirements from the potential users to create your website. 2) Website Flow & Structure (User Flow & Information Architecture): - I will make the website flow and structure documentation for you and the reason, so the next designer working on your product will not get confused. 3) UX Design: I will create the UX Design from the user flow & information architecture that has been defined before. 4) UI Design: I will polish the UX Design with colors that is harmonious with your brand and make sure the look and feel of the website aligns with your goals. 5) Usability Testing: Conduct testing to users to find out whether they can use the web easily or not. 6) Design Revision: - Revise design based on feedbacks from users, or from you. - I will explain the ‘design decisions’ (the reason behind the design) to you, ensuring your objectives are met and the design aren't made without any reason. 7) Design Handoff: I will explain the design and the reasoning to you and you development team, and give prototype when necessary. I have a flexible workflow -- we can discuss more about this so I can adjust it based on your needs and urgencies :) 🌟 Impact of my designs and research: *IDR 202 mil of revenue 2 months after feature release (no usability tests conducted, but can still achieve 0 complaints about usability) *Increased number of views in a listing page by 20% *Increased number of click bookings by 10% * Reduce operational teams workload by 15% ⚙️ My skills: * UX Design * UI Design * Usability testing
