Hey there! I’m Malena, a passionate UX Researcher who loves uncovering the hidden stories within data and transforming them into impactful user experiences.

My approach

  • I am committed to conducting thorough and meticulous research using mixed methods. My goal is to uncover deep user insights that drive meaningful product decisions. I employ various research techniques, including in-depth interviews, usability studies, surveys, and A/B testing, ensuring that our findings are robust and actionable.

  • Leading a team of researchers is one of my passions. I focus on attracting, retaining, and developing top talent, fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment. By providing continuous coaching and mentorship, I ensure that my team members excel in their roles and contribute effectively to our collective goals.

  • In fast-paced, high-growth environments, managing priorities is crucial. I excel at planning and prioritizing research activities to align with business objectives and product development cycles. By balancing immediate needs with long-term strategic goals, I ensure that our research efforts have the maximum impact.

  • II believe in making research accessible to all stakeholders. By democratizing research insights, I empower cross-functional teams to make informed, data-driven decisions. I achieve this by developing comprehensive research repositories, providing easy-to-understand reports, and facilitating workshops and master classes that disseminate key findings across the organization.
