Testimonials

  • Nick Martin, Product Owner at Gumtree

    I worked with Katre on a key project at Gumtree, re-inventing our Posting UX for Web.

    Katre always asked the right questions and really helped me to navigate the balance between Generative and Evaluative and sometimes asking whether research was needed at all.

    I hope to work with her again and I highly recommend her approach and her results.
