Jane Murison
Putting the UX into D
Synopsis
When designers are under pressure to get work done, user research can feel like another way of making the process slower and more expensive, and without much positive impact on the final design. This talk is about how we’re experimenting with designers doing their own user research, early on, with the aim of turning it from an expensive drudge into an easily accessed source of inspiration.
