DESIGNING WITH DATA: A UX RESEARCH GUIDE FOR DESIGNERS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

UX research involves understanding user needs through methods such as interviews, surveys, personas, and user testing to inform data-driven design decisions. Key research methods include surveys for quantitative data from many users, one-on-one interviews for deep insights, observation of users in natural environments, and diary studies to track experiences over time. Effective user interviews require thorough preparation, relevant questions, and a focused yet flexible approach to uncover insights that other methods might miss.
