Hello strats! I’m a freelance/independent researcher (tomatobaby.com) open for new projects from July on. My specialty is cultural insights, semiotics and trends research but I also do consumer insights (qual and quant). I usually work in “lifestyle” related categories — recent projects include qual for a spirits brand on changing drinking behavior, a trend report on NBA fandom, and decoding “power” in financial services and sportswear. More on my site. Happy to connect here/on LI for future opps. Thanks! 🍅
