Hi, I’m Joudi.

I connect people, brands & experiences.

Marketing strategist and UX thinker. I use different disciplines to solve the same problem: understanding people and building better brand experiences.

basically, I ask “why?” a lot.

The lenses I work through

Marketing isn’t one thing. Neither am I.

Different disciplines, one problem: understanding people and building better brand experiences. Strategy leads. The rest sharpens it.

  • 01 · Lead lens

    Strategy & Marketing

    Positioning, consumer insight, campaign planning, competitive research and integrated marketing.

  • 02

    UX & Digital Experience

    UX/UI design and audits approached through both a user and a marketing lens.

  • 03

    Research

    Academic and market research that helps me understand what’s changing before deciding what to do next.

  • 04

    Content & Communication

    Copywriting, visual content, brochures, campaigns and creative direction.

Digital experience audit

Let me audit your brand.

Most audits stop at one discipline. Mine doesn’t. I read your site the way your customer does, through UX, marketing, copy and brand at the same time, because a confusing button is also a lost sale, and an off-brand headline is also a broken promise.

  1. 01

    One walkthrough

    I go through your site as your customer would, from first impression to the moment they act, or leave.

  2. 02

    Four lenses, every page

    Each page is read for usability, value proposition, copy and brand consistency, side by side.

  3. 03

    One prioritized report

    A single list of fixes ranked by impact, not four separate sets of notes that contradict each other.

Try it: pick a lens, or see the four most important issues together.

  • UX lens

    “The main button competes with three other actions.”

  • Marketing lens

    “It doesn’t tell me why I should choose you over the next brand.”

  • Copy lens

    “Technically correct. Completely forgettable.”

  • Brand lens

    “Your Instagram feels warm. Your website feels corporate.”

Smaller pieces, same way of thinking.

Content & Communications · LAU CMI

One message, different touchpoints.

At LAU CMI, I worked across digital and physical channels to communicate programs consistently, from website brochures and social media to campus materials and promotional video. The format changed, but the goal stayed the same: make the information clear, relevant, and recognizably LAU.

Not proof I know Adobe. Proof I can execute communication professionally.

Yes, including the blank-canvas part.

02Social

Programs, made for social.

I was responsible for creating social content that translated CMI programs and opportunities into clear, engaging posts, while maintaining LAU’s visual identity and brand guidelines.

Different formats, one brand experience.

Working across these channels taught me to think beyond individual deliverables: the same message has to stay consistent while adapting to where and how people encounter it. The post, the website, the brochure, the flyer someone picks up at an event and the video they see before applying are all part of the same brand experience.

How I think about marketing

Marketing doesn’t end when someone clicks the ad.

The ad, the website, the copy and the experience all speak for the brand. I look at them together.

  1. 01Understand

    People + market + problem

  2. 02Position

    What should we mean?

  3. 03Create

    What should we say?

  4. 04Experience

    What happens after they listen?

  5. 05Measure

    Did it actually work?

  6. 06Learn

    What changes next?

How I build campaigns

One idea. Every touchpoint. Built to last.

I build campaigns omnichannel: every place a customer meets the brand tells the same story. I’d rather build something that keeps working than something that trends for a week and disappears.

One brand idea

  • Social
  • Meta ads
  • Website
  • Search
  • In-store
  • PR & influencers
  • Email & CRM
  • Service

What I avoid

Built for buzz

A launch spike, then nothing to come back to.

What I build

Built to last

One consistent story, so attention turns into memory, trust and repeat customers.

buzz fades. memory compounds.

Research

I don’t like guessing.

Research helps me understand the people, context and evidence behind a decision before I decide what the strategy should be.

  • 01

    Market research

    Sizing the space, the players and where the gap actually is.

  • 02

    Academic research

    Reading what has already been tested before assuming anything.

  • 03

    Consumer behaviour

    Why people choose, hesitate, switch and come back.

  • 04

    Competitive analysis

    What others are saying, and what nobody is saying yet.

Research Assistant · Marketing & Management

Working as a research assistant changed how I approach marketing decisions. It taught me to start from a clear question, check what is already known, collect evidence carefully, and let the findings shape the strategy instead of my first instinct.

A little beyond the portfolio

Away from the tabs, decks and Figma frames… I’m usually cooking or baking.

Experimenting, changing things, making something from scratch, and occasionally pretending I followed the recipe.

Apparently I’ve always taken my projects very seriously.
