I assist companies in fostering customer engagement and retention by leveraging insights into human behaviour. By identifying clues in behavioural science, I design user-centric products that prioritize the customer's interests and needs, resulting in a loyal customer base.

"I had the pleasure of having Natalia as one of my students at the Product School training I delivered in London. Natalia demonstrated to have what it takes to be a Successful Product Manager. She has the capacity of combining a high degree of intuition & empathy with logical and data-driven decisions.
She was my top student in the class and I'm pretty sure she will succeed in her next role in Product."

MY STORY

What inspired me to become
a UX Designer?

I used to sell luxurious clothes to very demanding customers. I believe that the one-to-one sales process is very much a UX process. It requires discovering what the customers want (research), offering different outfit options (ideation), encouraging customers to try it on (feedback), offering a different outfit based on feedback (iteration), and together deciding on the best fitting one. Learning to sell was a fast-track course in empathy and uncovering customers' needs.

UX design offered an opportunity to use those skills and my very well-exercised empathy muscles in a digital environment. In my UX work, I also discovered the power of behavioral science. I try to learn about it and use it in my process as I believe it helps to create solutions that address the nuances of human behavior and help users remain engaged with the product in a meaningful way.
