Our VP of User Research, Roberta Dombrowski, talks about the fast-paced work behind the scenes of UX research and the excitement when things fall into place.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Our exciting plans and strategy for the future
  • How we use research to inform planning
  • Product perspectives vs people perspectives
  • The beauty of new insights and their impact on a big relaunch
  • The difference between healthy organizational tension and dysfunction
