Helping teams connect user research and AI
I help research and product teams use AI to scale insight, not headcount. For orgs ready to work smarter, turn curiosity about AI into real, measurable workflows
Your partner in AI growth
Partnering directly with your research, product, and design teams to integrate AI where it actually helps — planning, synthesis, and knowledge reuse.
No hype. No tools-for-the-sake-of-tools.
Just faster access to insight, cleaner workflows, and measurable time saved..

Solutions for Growth-Stage Teams
AI Repository Setup Sprint
Turn scattered research into a smart, searchable system
What it solves:
When research exists but isn’t influencing decisions
Valuable research is trapped in decks, slides, and Notion pages no one can find
Your team wastes hours redoing the same studies because insights are invisible or forgotten
Leadership can’t see what’s already been learned, so decisions stall or repeat
Researchers are overwhelmed constantly trying to provide research insights to teams
What happens:
In three weeks, we map your current knowledge sprawl, design a single AI-powered repository (NotebookLM or your stack), and seed it with live projects so the team sees immediate payoff.
You get step-by-step instructions, linking prompts, and usage governance baked in so it keeps running after I step out..
Outcomes:
PRDs written with user research evidence baked in
30–50% reduction in re-research and synthesis hours
A permanent, searchable knowledge base that teams actually use
Past insights findable in < 60 seconds, no more duplicated spend
AI Co-Pilot Sprint
Build custom prompt libraries and research assistants that save hours
What it solves:
Researchers waste 40 % of their week writing the same screeners, summaries, and reports
Ad-hoc ChatGPT use means inconsistent tone, risky outputs, and zero documentation
PMs are using AI in isolation with no shared standards, no governance, no learning loop
When teams get stuck on research planning/execution and researchers don’t have time to train them
What happens:
Through a structured Audit → Design → Enablement sprint, we pinpoint high-effort workflows and design a prompt and agent system around them.
That can include custom GPTs trained on your research language, internal assistants that prep stakeholder summaries, and reusable prompt libraries for planning and synthesis.
Outcomes:
60% less manual synthesis time
Shared prompt libraries aligned to your brand and ethics
60–70 % faster production of consistent research artifacts
Ready-to-use prompts and assistants for everyday research work
Every new hire instantly productive with documented workflows
AI for Research Team Training
Help teams use AI effectively, safely, and with impact
What it solves:
Teams are experimenting with AI but lack structure so output quality is uneven
Leaders fear reputational or data-privacy risk but don’t have a framework
Tool budgets go unused because adoption is low and confidence is lower
What happens:
A focused half-day or full-day workshop combining real data, live prompting, and practical exercises. We cover research use-cases, governance, and how to design prompts that produce accurate, bias-aware results.
Each session ends with a documented playbook specific to your workflows.
Outcomes:
Shared best practices and guardrails
Immediate productivity lift seen by leadership
Confident researchers or PWDRs using AI responsibly
Not just another AI training or course. A repeatable system.
AI THAT ACTUALLY CHANGES HOW TEAMS WORK
Most teams don’t need another tool demo. They need systems that remove bottlenecks. I build workflows that shave hours off every project and make past research instantly useful again
This isn’t a one-day spark that fades by Monday. You leave with working agents, prompt libraries, and repositories that keep saving time long after I’ve stepped out
RESULTS THAT OUTLIVE THE WORKSHOP
REAL-WORLD ADOPTION, NOT THEORETICAL TALK
Everything I build is grounded in how teams already operate. We integrate AI where it fits your stack and security rules, so adoption is friction-free and measurable from day one
I don’t juggle 10 clients. When I’m in, I’m all in. That means faster context, deeper impact, and work that holds up under pressure
FEWER CLIENTS, DEEPER WORK
“Working with Nikki changed how we think about research at Paxton.
She helped us build a lean research function that can scale with our growing startup. We now have a solid foundation and system in place: research templates, recruitment pipelines, a live backlog, an insight tracker tied to real product decisions, and NotebookLM that allows us to continuously mine past research for new insights.
Research now runs alongside product and design instead of trailing behind, and the work Nikki supported has directly shaped how we’re approaching multiple roadmap initiatives. We’re going into Q4 and Q1 with a clearer sense of direction, sharper product decisions, and a way of working that keeps users at the center without slowing anything down.
What stood out most was Nikki's ability to plug into our team quickly and bring clarity where things felt messy. She challenged assumptions in a way that moved us forward and left behind tools we're still using. Her support transformed the way we work.
I enthusiastically recommend Nikki to any founder or product leadership team looking to make research a meaningful, practical part of how they build. Her mix of strategic depth, hands-on execution, and genuine investment in her clients' success makes her an invaluable partner for high-growth teams.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Nikki over the past nine months, during which she partnered with several of our product teams as a UX research expert. From day one, she brought sharp insights, structure, and real impact to every project she was involved in.
Nikki has an exceptional ability to uncover what truly matters to users and translate those findings into clear, actionable recommendations that move products forward. Beyond her professional skills, she brings an incredibly positive energy that lifts up everyone around her. She’s collaborative, curious, and a true joy to work with!
I can’t recommend Nikki enough to any team looking for a skilled, thoughtful, and all-around wonderful UX researcher.”
— Ofir , VP Product @ Artlist
“When we faced the challenge to scale and democratise UX research beyond the core UXR team, Nikki's workshop on how to set up research helped us greatly in laying the necessary foundation to enable our product teams to run their own research. Having worked in fast scaling companies herself, Nikki immediately understood our context, needs and goals, and created a workshop that was customised with hands on, interactive exercises tailored to our company. The feedback from participants has been great - both regarding the workshop content and Nikki's experienced, professional and warm workshop facilitation. We would work with Nikki again any time!”
