Friends call me Tanya.

I am a mixed-methods UX Researcher and Designer with a media background. I bring rich storytelling experience as a journalist and communications expert into the consumer insights game.

In the past, I was driving care automation and building groundbreaking digital therapies for chronic health conditions at Memora Health and Mahana Therapeutics. I currently lead mixed-methods research at a major UX research agency delivering strategic insights and UX counsel to Fortune 500 clients. Please contact me for some examples of my B2B work!
