Career Opportunities for UX/UI Designers
UX researchers conduct research with real users, gathering both qualitative and quantitative data about how people think, feel, and behave. They then share this data with the product team, to help everyone understand the target audience and to inform a user-centric design strategy.
Ultimately, UX researchers take the guesswork out of the design process, making sure that the team has enough information to make data-informed product decisions.
