So what to do with user research

All of you were able to cluster your research findings into emergent patterns and give it a name. With that done, looking a bit deeper into your research should reveal what you learned, discovered from your research. Based on that, hopefully this will inform you potential opportunities on what you can make.

To be a designer is to accept your OCD
Now, your inspiration does not solely come from user research but this research should inform you with user behaviors, intent and possibly needs that's being unmet. Addressing that is where potentially new product ideas exist.

We will review in-progress work for your Exercise 2 Wednesday. Prepare to show three things:
  • Documentation of your research clustering/synthesis
  • 3-5 learned/discovered behaviors/insights of users
  • Brainstorming and possible ideas for applications
  • Email them to me by 3PM, Wednesday










So, before I end I feel my explanation For Personas was incoherent, at best. I will take another pass at that soon.
