"Lamis is a uniquely talented strategic thinker.
During my time collaborating with her, she helped my team clarify the questions that would be most valuable in helping us move forward, and then she led high-quality qualitative research on our behalf to decisively answer those questions.
Her superpower is looking at a problem from many different angles.
Her flexibility in pivoting the focus on the research midway through data collection was essential to the direction-changing impact her work ultimately yielded for the company.
I would absolutely welcome an opportunity to collaborate with her again!"
Drew Foster, Senior Researcher, Meta
"Lamis is the rare combination of strategist, design thinker, human connector, and precision executor.
Lamis asks not only the important questions but the right questions, ensuring that she has a clear understanding of the client's needs, including the all-important: 'What do you want to do with this research?
She designs research based on her deep understanding of humans, research methodology, and the business outcomes needed. She connects with humans in a way that brings out the most useful information and drives clear and actionable strategy and recommendations from research.
She simplifies complex ideas into straightforward frameworks and ideas that can easily be communicated to senior leadership and 'non UX researchers/designers'.
She follows the client's lead and also pushes the client's thinking and process to ensure the best possible outcomes. Her skills are rare and highly valuable."
Elizabeth Walda, Sr Principal Analyst, Hasbro
[formerly Sr Staff Research Lead, Meta]
"Finding Lamis on LinkedIn in 2019 was a beautiful blessing.
Usually, when hiring freelance researchers like Lamis, I would go through word-of-mouth recommendations, so when we connected and briefed her on our first global Spotify project across Brazil, Indonesia and the US, I felt instantly at ease because she was just so cool, down to earth and super professional.
Lamis immediately took on the challenge of understanding exactly what the client wanted by asking the right questions and she also was incredibly open to adapting to the ON ROAD methodology and ways of presenting work, which was a more editorial style.
Lamis is a deep thinker, loves to learn new insights and sees challenges as opportunities for new ways of working.
She has the ability to turn complex and nuanced ideas and work into clear, actionable high-level recommendations for leadership.
I would trust Lamis 100 times over to deliver a brief and would always say yes to working with her."
Taro Shimada, Founder and Director, onro.ad

"I'm very grateful that I had the chance to chat with Lamis! I can second the feedback that she's incredibly generous with her time and has a wealth of knowledge about the UXR industry to share (both IC and lead-level experiences). She talked through the reasoning behind different methodologies without me needing to ask. She changed my mind about what "confidence" really means in the workplace (mindset shift, achieved!).

"If you're looking for someone who can provide guidance or share knowledge about "UX research" and similar topics, don't hesitate to contact Lamis. She is one of the best individuals I've had the pleasure of knowing, and her dedication to mentoring is excellent. She always provides valuable insights; you can feel her commitment to the tutorials or assistance she can offer. A wonderful person and highly recommended with a 10/10 rating

In 2023, I was awarded a scholarship to study Space Science and Exploration at the International Space University (ISU), the world’s only university dedicated entirely to space education. As their only student with an Arts background, I expanded my expertise across disciplines including astrophysics, molecular biology, biochemistry, psychology, engineering, and international policy, while gaining a deep understanding of space sector entrepreneurship and commercialization.
This unique training sharpened my ability to decode complex systems, bridge scientific and human-centered thinking, and tackle future-facing challenges with strategic, analytical, creative precision.
This foundation in precision, pattern recognition, and complex problem-solving shapes the way I approach research and strategy, combining analytical rigor with creative interpretation.
I organically grew a niche social media community of 14,000+ followers, developing a hands-on understanding of audience behavior, engagement strategy, and content dynamics.
This real-world perspective directly informed my leadership of a global user research project for Instagram, delivering a content creator segmentation that shaped platform strategy and secured a $1.6M initiative for the agency I partnered with.
