HI, I’M MARIA LUNETTO

an applied behavioural scientist who helps organisations understand why people do what they do and how to design change that sticks.

My work combines research, practical tools, and tailored approaches to address each organisation’s unique challenges.

WHAT I DO IN A NUTSHELL

Every behaviour has a reason. I dig into the ‘why’ - decoding the barriers, drivers, and hidden patterns behind how people act.
This gives a clear picture of what’s happening and where we can create change.

Understand why people behave the way they do

01 DECODE

From small changes in wording to structural adjustments, I create practical solutions that make it easy for people to make better choices.
I test these strategies in real-world settings, refine them, and ensure they work for your unique context.

Design solutions to change behaviour for the better

02 DESIGN

I give talks, run workshops, lead training sessions, and create tailored programmes to share the tools of behavioural science.
This empowers teams and individuals to apply insights and solve their own challenges.
