About

My experience: I have 9+ years of consulting/agency experience, 5+ of which have spanned the fields of UX Research, Human-centered Design, and Behavioral Science. I made a mid-career pivot into UX & Design Consulting from Marketing (I know how tough a mid-career pivot can be!).

How I'll help you: I can provide mentorship on upskilling in behavioral science/how to apply it to your UX work, career pivots (breaking into UX, full-time to freelance/self-employment, etc.), unconventional career paths, battling imposter syndrome, whether to pursue a Master's/PhD in behavioral science vs. a training program, finding fully remote work/becoming a digital nomad, working abroad, and many more topics!

Next step: Start a free trial with me so you can be sure that we're a fit before signing up! I want to make sure I'm the right mentor for you :)

What I've done: I've conducted end-to-end, cross-cultural research studies across 12 countries both at Accenture and in my independent consulting work. I also worked abroad for 4 years in Mexico. I'm passionate about voicing the unique needs of systemically under-resourced populations, including people with chronic conditions.

Past clients: 2 FAANG companies, and 4 Fortune 500 companies in Healthcare and Consumer Goods.

What I'm up to now: I'm an independent UX Research & Behavior Design consultant running my own business. I'm also a digital nomad, working fully remotely while traveling.

Education: I earned my Master's degree in Behavioral & Decision Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Duke University.

Making the transition from graduation to the workplace can be challenging, but Emilia has been incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout this mentorship. She takes the time to understand my goals and offers helpful guidance. I also really appreciate how open and approachable she is—it makes it easy to ask questions and learn from her. Her support has made a real difference in how I approach my job search and the interview process. Specifically, she has guided me on how to tailor my resume and portfolio to hiring managers/companies. I really appreciate the time and insight she has put into helping me grow professionally. Learning from her has been great!

Emilia is thoughtful and uplifting. She brings behavioural design into the mentorship process in a way that’s both strategic and empowering. Her positive attitude, flexibility, and support extend beyond just scheduled calls. I deeply appreciated how considerate and motivating she was at a time I needed it. She’s not only knowledgeable and up-to-date with the field but also delivers honest, actionable feedback with genuine compassion. I’m grateful to be learning from her!

I have had an amazing mentorship experience with Emilia. From our very first conversation, she listened carefully and understood my unique situation and career goals perfectly. As a former UX/UI designer returning to work after a career break, I was trying to figure out a career change and the best path forward. Emilia not only provided clarity but also outlined a structured plan tailored to my needs. She suggested actionable, highly relevant steps that I could implement right away, which made the process feel much more achievable. Her insights were incredibly valuable, and her approach was both supportive and strategic. I truly appreciate her expertise, patience, and providing guidance that's been both practical and inspiring. I would highly recommend Emilia to anyone looking for thoughtful mentorship!
