Rivac LabsCultural Intelligence Strategist
Software built for one market rarely translates cleanly to another — colors, imagery, interaction patterns, and even silence can carry different meanings, and a product that feels neutral at home can feel tone-deaf or confusing abroad. This service reviews product UX and representation through a cultural-intelligence lens: identifying design choices, language, or imagery that won't resonate — or will actively misfire — in specific target markets, before launch rather than after a public misstep. It's for product teams expanding into new regions who want more than a translation pass. You get a specific, market-by-market review of what needs to change to actually land.
