Hello, I’m Katya
A UX Researcher, Cognitive and Behavioural Scientist, and occasional Photographer.
With 7+ years of research experience, I help companies better understand their users so they can provide consistently strong digital solutions.With a background in cognitive science, I’m relentlessly curious about people and understanding what drives their behaviour and choices. I love hearing users’ stories and learning more about who they are, and how they use technology to solve problems in their everyday lives.After researching language and the brain for years, I now focus on uncovering what makes products and solutions great for users and help my clients translate that knowledge into winning strategies.My Story in Numbers

What my life looks like outside work
When I’m not deep in research, you’ll often find me conquering the great outdoors - hiking up winding mountain trails with my cocker spaniel Leo. I love travelling and getting lost in unfamiliar cities, capturing hidden corners and moments of everyday life (with far more camera gear than I probably need). But my favourite moments are the simple ones: time spent with family and friends, or a quiet Sunday afternoon with a good book and a cup of steaming coffee.
