Natalia is an engaging and passionate market research professional who embraces a growth mindset attitude. She has over 10 years experience  designing research studies, moderating qualitative interviews and delivering actionable insights.

Her obsession with all things customer began in the 90s during her very first job as a Consumer Affairs Specialist speaking to over 30 customers a day.  Eventually she parlayed her ability to connect with others into an opportunity to teach English to children and adults while living in Italy.  She then found her way back to Corporate America as a product planner within an automotive manufacturer.  She then transitioned to a position within Market Intelligence where she deepened her passion for market research before founding Keyhole Research & Consulting.

Her areas of expertise include concept testing, user experience studies, product design, color and quality.  She has a deep understanding of  generational cohorts, as well as societal and cultural macrotrends.
