Andreea


Usability/UX specialist


I'm coming with a complex experience in understanding the user navigation on Web area, especially on e-commerce Websites/applications, from testing to usability and UX. I'm passionate about neuroscience, research, human-computer interaction, anthropology and public speaking. Behind all user research, I think that it’s very important to keep up in mind when you develop a usability theory the brain and its behavior and, of course, the anthropological studies regarding the other influences for user.
