Creating more profitable businesses through better customer-facing experiences

Minka

I’m a multidisciplinary designer combining customer understanding, business thinking and design to develop what customers see, use and experience.

Turning customer experience into business performance

Customers don't experience a business one department at a time. They experience it through everything they see, encounter and interact with. The way those experiences work together shapes how people find, perceive, choose and return to a business.

 

I work across the different parts of a customer-facing business to improve the experience as a whole, connecting customer needs with business needs. I create more revenue by making products, services and offers more valuable, relevant, and profitable. Costs come down by reducing friction, unnecessary steps and inefficient ways of working. Stronger positioning, brands and more relevant marketing strengthen demand, while customer needs and business challenges become opportunities for new products, services and concepts. ​​

Where I create change

Give me a customer-facing business that needs to perform better, and I can understand what is happening, identify what needs to change, develop better solutions and make them happen.

Trusted by the people I've worked with

Minka made a real contribution to Wayby, first as a Marketing Specialist and later as our Marketing Lead. She combined strategic thinking with hands-on execution across branding, content, web design and UX/UI. She also built Wayby Academy and its first course from the ground up.

What stood out to me was her ability to take ownership and turn ideas into finished work independently. I would happily recommend Minka to a team looking for a versatile marketing professional with strong design skills.
