Portrait of Mia Kos, user research and service design expert

Hi, I'm Mia.

I help organisations understand their users and translate that into clear strategy and better services.

Over the past 15 years, I've worked on complex challenges across public and private sectors – from transforming prison services in the UK to improving how national statistics reach the public.

Services

UX Strategy

Set a clear direction for your services and products, and make sure everyone knows what that means in practice. Clear strategy means faster decisions, better prioritisation, and teams that work toward the same goals.

Service Design

Map, simplify and improve complex services, untangle fragmented journeys, and create a clear strategy that focuses effort on what matters most to your users. I'll help you systematise how things work across your organisation.

Research

Understand your users and what matters to them. I'll design and run research projects that uncover insights to improve your services and give you a clear view of what's happening and where to focus next.

Capability Building & Training

Help your organisation adopt user-centred design or scale what you're already doing. I'll train and mentor your team and help embed practices that make good design repeatable, building confidence and organisational resilience.
