    Transitioning from design to consulting is definitely possible with your senior experience. The key is building a portfolio that showcases your analytical skills rather than just visual design work. Document case studies where you identified usability issues and improved user experiences with measurable results. I've worked with several website ux audit company teams and what clients value most is data-driven insights and actionable recommendations. Start by offering audits to smaller businesses to build credibility and testimonials before targeting larger clients
