User Research
I implement a variety of user research methods to help me understand users needs, pain points, behaviours, workflows and mindsets. I use both qualitative and quantitative methods at the start of the project as well as through a project. Formative research helps me validate product ideas specially in the launch of new products and services.
My toolkit includes:
User interviews
User journey mapping
User flows & scenarios
Co-creating with users for problem definition, ideation and coming up with solutions.
User segments and personas
Service design blueprints
Competitor and market analysis
User testing: formal lab based testing and guerrilla testing
Diary studies, Card sorting
Value proposition definition, Context maps, business model canvas, Lean canvas
Design Sprints
