WHO WE ARE
Hi! My name is Yulia.
Back in 2014, I arrived in Newcastle to pursue my PhD focused on customer experience quality. Little did I know, my journey would lead me to develop a deep affection for the North East, prompting me to make it my home. In August 2022, I founded Service Design North Ltd, an agency dedicated to supporting local businesses, social enterprises, and organisations in making a positive impact in the region.
At the core of our customer experience management agency, we uphold the principles of human-centred design and innovation. Our approach revolves around designing for people, with people, ensuring that the experiences we create are tailored to their unique needs and aspirations. We firmly believe that by placing human needs and desires at the forefront, we can drive meaningful change and foster greater connections between businesses and their customers.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Working with Yulia was a pleasure from start to finish. Her interactions with my customers has opened doors of understanding that I simply didn't have before.
I work as a b2b service provider and having Yulia come to each of my clients and understand exactly what it is they want to achieve, has given me invaluable insights which I can use, anywhere from relationship building to staff training and customer retention.
Yulia’s knowledge of marketing is profound. She is working to help me explore opportunities to reach out to more potential customers. When we were about to hold a pop up shop at a Boots Eldon Square, she provided very useful advice regarding our pricing strategy at Boots too.
As a start-up, our experience with Yulia has exceeded our expectations!
She has been our marketing consultant for a few months and we have utilized her marketing expertise to seek advice on strategy, branding and customer service which was very beneficial to us. She has offered much guidance as she is very knowledgeable and insightful and we highly recommend her valuable services.
