User experience (UX) research is a field that can help us prevent issues before they take place. Greta Ruskiene knows this first-hand: she used to work as a QA and made a career shift to UX with time.

In this episode, we discuss UX research, the art of question-asking, and how frequently, even when we truly believe we know our users, we may not.
