      Explaining what a UX researcher does?

      • UX stands for User Experience
      • Research methods, quantitative research
      • Validating what the users want and the problems are
      • Applying traditional methodologies to the digital design process
      • Has to be about the customer and the problem if there is one
      • What do customers actually want and what they need?
      • Overlaps with UX design, they can work together
      • Depending on the size of the company, team and budget, will suggest the amount or level of research they do

        • Explaining what a UX designer does?

        • Focus on the experience of the user and customer for the digital product
        • Find out if the product is enjoyable to use
        • Do they align with the business needs?
        • Information architecture, what information needs to be in the product
        • User personas, user testing, iterating, wireframes, no visual design in a UX design role
        • We sort out the journey, it’s like the cogs of a clock - does it function, is it enjoyable to watch?
        • Agile environment, constantly changing - if something is not working, you have to take it back and move it forward with the user in mind
        • Do more testing, change the UX - it is not a linear process
