My services.
Don’t have the time, resources, or know-how to get the impactful UX insights you need? Hi, I’m Julia: Experienced and passionate researcher - at your service! I am on a mission to help businesses and creative teams of all sizes get the data they need to build better products for the humans who use them.
Training & Mentorship.
Want to conduct research but aren’t sure how? Is your team struggling to empathize with and prioritize users in your development process? Through individual and group trainings, I help researchers and teams plan UX strategy, improve their research techniques, and build a user empathy mindset across their org.
User Research Services.
I love training people to do research, but I know sometimes you want to sit back and let someone else take the reigns. I can work with you and your team to conduct research at all phases of the development cycle, including persona generation and empathy-building, user interviews, focus groups, concept testing, usability testing, surveys, and much more!
Research Consulting.
Want to conduct research on your own, but need some help getting all the pieces in place? Are you not sure which methods to use, what questions to ask, or how to analyze your data? Let me help you take your research practice to the next level through expert assistance in planning, conducting, and analyzing UX research.
Resources & Systems.
Through my countless studies and research projects, I’ve developed effective and proven templates, plans, outlines, and everything else you need to kickstart your research practice. Starting from scratch can quickly become overwhelming - that’s why I provide teams with the pre-made templates they need to plan, execute, and utilize user research - the easy way!

Why work with me?
Experienced and knowledgeable: I have over five years of experience in UX design and research and advanced formal training in research, psychology, design, and much more. I know what research you need and how to conduct it to provide the most valuable and impactful insights possible.
Flexible and adaptive: I will meet you where you are to provide the services that you need most. I am comfortable with all levels of engagement, from going off on my own to do research and report back, to bringing you and your team along to learn so you can do it yourself the next time.
Scientific, yet realistic: I have experience planning, conducting, and analyzing research across the spectrum from rigorous and scientific to scrappy and lean. I am able to keep our priorities in check, so we get high-impact, valid findings, but don’t waste our time and money going overboard with unnecessary rigor that will never make a difference.
