A Note from Christianne
Hi, I’m Christianne, the researcher behind Tea.with.Tetley. I’m a Canadian-Mexican raised in Cuernavaca, Mexico, with a lifelong love for storytelling, exploring cultures, and solving problems through design.
My journey brought me to the U.S., where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and a Master’s in Emerging Media from the University of Georgia. Over time, I’ve worked at the intersection of UX, analytics, and emerging tech, pairing research with intuition to create thoughtful digital experiences.
What lights me up is collaborating with curious, creative teams to uncover what users really need, then helping those insights turn into meaningful design decisions.
Our Philosophy
Human-Centered by Design
We begin with people, not assumptions.
When we truly understand the people we're designing for, we can create experiences that feel intuitive, inclusive, and genuinely helpful. Every insight we uncover is rooted in empathy.
Thoughtful Collaboration
Reliable. Flexible. Invested.
We believe good research is a partnership. We show up with care and consistency, building trust with every project. Our goal is long-term collaboration, not one-off transactions.
Curiosity Fuels Quality
We’re always learning, so you stay ahead.
As tools, technologies, and behaviors evolve, we stay steeped in the latest research practices. That way, we can keep delivering thoughtful, relevant insights that move your work forward.
Behind every great brand is a deep understanding of its people.
Let’s explore what your users really need.
