👾 Welcome to my little corner of LinkedIn! Hi, my name is Natalia. Currently, I am UX Consultant at Elixirr. My 3 years of experience have given me a keen eye for the UX design process, thanks to my freelance experience and time working for Shopify. I've had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients in various sectors, whether that’s FinTech, EdTech or HealthTech.I had a unique start in UX design while leading a start-up during my time at university. As Co-founder, I played an important part in winning the prestigious NatWest Accelerator Programme, receiving almost 10k in seed funding and managing a team in two different offices in Brighton. This experience allowed me to delve into web development and branding, where I learned the art of presenting ideas to stakeholders and, more importantly, advocating for the users' needs at every step of the start-up incubation process.I recently worked at Shopify, as a Merchant Success business coach for Italian SMEs. Here, I developed a keen eye for identifying user pain points and finding quick solutions in the high-pressure world of e-commerce. I worked on improving the user experience of over 3k online stores.During my time as a freelance UX designer, I have designed iOS apps and websites for a broad range of clients. My favourite projects include branding work for Imperial College London and design work for the ADHD and neurodiverse community.In all my experiences, which range from adventures in the e-commerce world to copywriting for NGOs, I've learned the importance of addressing user needs in a way that sparks joy. If you're interested in discussing UX design or just something you're passionate about, I'd love to connect.Don't be shy—drop me a line!
