Alexis Knygavko
Product User Experience Advisor | B2B SaaS, LegalTech and Information Systems UX
Wow, our session with Alexis was GREAT. I so appreciate her expertise & thoughtful feedback. She took the time to send us solid insights before the session, and then the session itself was action packed. I've now got a solid list of action items that I'm excited to implement - thanks a mil Alexis!
Alexis asked tough questions that really required me to do some self-reflection and think critically about my business and its direction. That is the kind of mentor everyone needs, even if it can feel uncomfortable at times, we need to be stretched, and challenged outside of our comfort zone. Alexis focuses on the founder's mindset and their mental wellbeing as part of a holistic approach to advising founders. I recommend meeting with her.
Alexis was incredibly helpful during our consultation, thoroughly understanding the specifics of my software. She offered invaluable UX advice on user onboarding and shared essential resources that are making a significant difference. Alexis also went the extra mile by reviewing our demo video and providing actionable steps. Her deep knowledge in the field and thoughtful approach are highly commendable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to enhance their product’s user experience
Bio
I advise founders building spiritual tech, emotional-intelligence tools, and behavior-change products. My expertise is helping you validate the product, tighten the narrative, and engineer adoption for solutions that require user trust and psychological safety. Who I work with: Pre-seed and early-stage founders building at the intersection of AI + consciousness, wellness tech, EQ platforms, and digital transformation tools. What I’m an expert in: Product clarity: translating complex or esoteric concepts into a value proposition people instantly understand. User psychology & adoption: mapping belief systems, trust barriers, and behavioral triggers that determine whether people actually use your product. Onboarding & retention systems: designing flows that reduce friction and accelerate engagement for mindset-shift tools. Founder decision architecture: identifying internal patterns that distort product strategy or stall execution. How I help: Through a blend of UX research, systems thinking, and founder psychology, I uncover what’s blocking adoption (internally and externally) and reposition your product for credibility, usability, and sustainable growth. If you’re building technology that changes how people think, feel, or behave, I help you make it coherent, evidence-backed, and ready to scale.
Expertise
Building a team
Building a team isn’t just about filling roles—it’s about creating a cohesive unit that shares your vision and complements your human-centered approach. Too often, startups rush to hire without considering how each member contributes to the bigger picture. I help you strategically build a team that not only drives your mission forward but also embodies the values and purpose your company stands for.
Design / UX
Helping with your startup: Does your product need a design evaluation? Are you looking for ad-hoc feedback from someone with a design eye? Are you looking for an express audit with recommendations on where to focus next? I can guide you in the right direction.
Idea validation
Validating an idea isn’t just about gauging market interest—it’s about ensuring your concept truly resonates with your target audience’s needs. Too often, startups rush to market without fully vetting their ideas, leading to costly pivots down the road. I help you validate your concept by crafting tailored feedback collection strategies that align with your resources, validation needs, and timing.
Operations
Is your internal operations truly aligned with your human-centered approach to customers? Too often, companies focus intensely on the external world, overlooking the need to design exceptional experiences for the employees driving their mission forward. Let’s make you stand out by prioritizing your internal team just as much as your customers.
Pricing strategy
Many companies rely on financial experts to set pricing, but the real insights come from those who know the customers best—design and product experts. Instead of mimicking your competitors' pricing strategies, I help you dive deep into your target audience's psyche and lifestyle. Together, we craft pricing that naturally aligns with how they shop and their level of desire for your product when they're ready to buy.
Product analytics
Are you making data-driven decisions or just guessing? Product analytics is key to understanding how users interact with your product and where improvements can be made. Without the right insights, you risk making changes based on assumptions rather than facts. I help you dive into your product analytics to uncover actionable insights that inform your strategy, enhance user experience, and drive growth.
User research
Do you really know your users, or are you just guessing? User research is the foundation of creating products that truly resonate with your audience. Without understanding your users’ needs, behaviors, and pain points, you risk building something that misses the mark. I help you dive deep into user research, gathering insights that inform your design and product strategy.
Toolkit
React
9 years of experienceMost products I've worked on have been built on react platforms. I can't advise on the technical pieces, but I can help with design solutions that have to cater to this platform.
