UX Researcher

A UX Researcher studies user behaviours and preferences to inform the design of digital products and services. You might work in a tech company, design agency, or research firm. UX Researchers focus on understanding user needs through interviews, surveys, and usability testing. You’ll prepare insights and recommendations to guide the development of intuitive and user-friendly experiences.

UX Researchers play a vital role in creating products that meet user expectations. You’ll need to be analytical, empathetic, and skilled in communication. You’ll collaborate with designers, developers, and stakeholders to ensure that user insights are effectively integrated into the design process.
