Experienced user, UX and Product researcher looking for senior-level opportunities
Justina Keldušytė
@justinakelduyt
Experienced UX Researcher with over 5 years in technology, education, telecom, and SaaS industries.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior UX Researcher with over 5+ years of experience turning complex user problems into clear, actionable insights. My journey has taken me across diverse industries: from telecom giants like Virgin Media O2 to SaaS scale-ups like CDP where I've learned that great research starts with a great research question.
My approach combines rigorous methodology with practical impact. Whether I'm conducting diary studies to understand user workflows, running card sorting exercises to inform information architecture, or building research operations from the ground up, I focus on research that actually gets used. I've established customer research panels, coached cross-functional teams on research best practices, and created systems that democratise insights across entire organisations.
What drives me is helping teams make confident decisions backed by solid evidence. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to translate user needs into product improvements that matter. From early-stage discovery that shapes product strategy to evaluative research that fine-tunes user experiences, I'm passionate about research that moves the needle.
When I'm not asking "but why?" in stakeholder meetings, you'll find me with a book, knitting while watching Doctor Who or searching where I can find the ingredients for the next Ottolenghi dish I'd like to attempt to cook.
