- Does UX Research seem like an interesting but daunting activity?
- Are you interested in trying to do some UX Research but aren't sure where to start or if you have the skills?
- Have you done a bit of research and want guidance on how to improve your skills?
- Do you think that only UX Researchers can do UX research?
In this Fireside chat geared towards students and new UX practitioners, Rock will share why he believes that anyone can start involved in UX research. Drawing on a cooking-skills analogy (and perhaps a reference or two to the Pixar film Ratatouille), he'll also discuss how novices can improve and know when research experts are needed. Attendees will take away practical ideas to build those research muscles, to grow professionally whether as a UX designer or researcher.
