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. We also examine how deeper insight drives strategy and informs long-term planning as research matures, and the reality of team collaboration.

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
