Hands-on support
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.
5 out of 5 stars
Over the past several months, working with Emilia has been incredibly helpful. She has a way of breaking things down so they actually make sense, which made a huge difference for me. She’s also very kind and patient in her approach, which made it much easier to ask questions and learn without feeling overwhelmed. She’s given me clear, actionable feedback on my portfolio and has helped me better understand how to present my work. She also guided me on how to use LinkedIn more effectively, which is something I struggled with before. Because of Emilia’s mentorship, I feel much more confident and clear in my direction. She’s played a big role in helping me grow professionally and in how I approach UX research overall. I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with her and learning more!

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!

The mentorship was thoughtful and practical, with very detailed feedback. Emilia's guidance was grounded in real hiring expectations and helped clarify how to strengthen research positioning and next steps. I appreciated the honesty, structure, and generosity with time and resources. Would recommend to others looking for clear, experience-based career guidance.
