I am a Senior UX researcher and UX Research Ambassador at UXinsight. With 7+ years of UX research experience working in agile environments and background in social sciences, I am passionate about designing experiences informed by data and driven by empathy.
Previously, I worked at Booking.com and supported multi-disciplinary teams by using qualitative and quantitative data to inform product design, strategy, metrics and data models. I am excited about mixed-methods research and collaborations with other insights disciplines (e.g., data science/analytics).
I love to learn and to contribute to the research community through mentorship & knowledge sharing. I am currently also a mentor on UX Coffee Hours.
I am a UX researcher and the founder of UXinsight. With a background in psychology, I started working as a UX researcher in 2000. I worked as a researcher in a large enterprise, as well as for small agencies. With over 20 years of research experience, I’m open to every research challenge. I still love to dive into a new study each time.
As a trainer, I aim to create an open atmosphere for participants to feel safe and welcome to share information and experiences. Every group is different, which makes it interesting, diverse and fun.
I liked the advice on current/future project challenges and questions best. Anna is very friendly and a great teacher! I would rate both her and the training a 10.
