Intro to User Research | FREE Online Livestream | Atlanta
About this workshop
Developing a deep understanding of users’ behavior, needs, and desires helps design teams solve well-defined problems. Without identifying these core problems and opportunities, launching a product or service is simply a stab in the dark. That’s where user research comes in.
