About Sophia Timko

UX Researcher at Disney Streaming

I'm a UX Researcher at Disney Streaming where I conduct strategic research that impacts Disney's streaming platforms (Disney+, Hulu, Star+, ESPN+). I have a Master's in HCI from Carnegie Mellon and have worked both at consultancies at the intersection of design and business on B2B projects and now in-house on B2C products. I'm excited to chat all things UX research and design strategy!

What mentees say

β€œSophia is wonderful! She helped me to get a clear picture of how research comes into play with business/design strategy, as well as ways to make sure our research insights are actionable/tangible. She also recommended so many useful UXR resources (books, podcasts, articles) that I am really excited to dive into. She is easy to talk to, articulate, and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much Sophia!”

Heidi (Xinyi) Chen, M.S. in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology at University of Southern California

β€œSophia is an absolute treasure! I am so happy I managed to book a session with her. She shared such valuable insights with me about topics that I would not know how to approach. She is truly professional, super knowledgeable, friendly, and smart. I want to be her when I grow up.”

Leonid Andrulaitis, Student at DesignLab

β€œSophia is amazing! She is really encouraging and informative. She dedicated a good amount of her time providing me not only general mentorship but also detailed feedback on how to frame my portfolio structure, which was extremely helpful. She showed a great deal of care and empathy that I truly appreciate. She is a fantastic mentor.”
