Emilia Rybak

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.
