Nataliya Sambir

Agency from Ukraine

I'm Nataliya Sambir, CDO & Co-founder at Linkup Studio. With over 11 years in the design industry, I've devoted my career to understanding how top-notch products and services can transform user behaviors and bring benefits to businesses.

At Linkup Studio, we rely on extensive data and user psychology to craft innovative solutions that not only meet user needs but also achieve business goals. Our goal is to deeply understand both the business side and our users, creating experiences so engaging and enjoyable that they naturally promote themselves.

Throughout my career, I’ve led the design strategy for diverse projects across various sectors, earning multiple awards for excellence. My belief is that the core of a successful business lies in three main aspects:

People (employees and customers)
The Experience offered to them
Achieving business goals

This perspective fuels my passion for exploring and sharing knowledge about Customer Experience, Growth, Design, and Psychology. These areas are fundamental to creating impactful experiences at scale.

For countries, fostering participation among creative talents becomes a strategic move, one that promises to elevate their national profile by showcasing their inherent creative strengths and capabilities. This collective endeavor, where each entry and recognition contributes to the larger narrative of a country's creative prowess, underscores the interconnectedness of individual achievements and national prestige.
