Hello !


🙈🙈

First, we'd like to apologize for the disappearing act. It's been over a year since our last email. In that time we've experienced a lot of personal changes and have been working on something we find exciting and which we hope you'll find exciting too.

Which brings us to the second thing: We're finally! launching a UX Research course.

💡 Our course is project-based and focused on helping everyone from product designers and product managers to aspiring UX researchers learn how to confidently conduct research and distill actionable insights.

** Interviewing like a Pro.

Hello Human

We hope you’re doing good and staying safe!

Today we’re going to be talking about the second most popular (and most misused) research methodology—interviews. I’m super excited. Let’s get to it!

** Mixed Methods Research

Hello Human

Your favourite researchers are back from the forced hiatus. For that don’t know, we decided to go on a break to focus on what was happening in our country (the #EndSars movement in Nigeria).

So before we start talking about recipes and mixing methods, we want you to pause. Take a deep breath, exhale and genuinely answer this question: How are you doing?

** The 4 major forms of research

Hello Human

Over the past newsletters, we’ve talked about what UX Research is, how to not do it, and what to do when you’re on a time and money budget. Today, let’s talk about the types of research you can do. There are a lot of research methodologies you can use (surprising right? seeing as most people just do surveys, interviews & usability tests).

Anyway, let’s get into it.

** How to do research on a time and money budget

Hello Human

So the reason you decided to do one survey or one usability test or interview two of your friends is because you didn’t have the time or budget or user research buy-in. And now Dumi and Lade have said, nope. What do you do instead? Well there’s this beautiful thing called Guerrilla Research (not Gorrilla Research lmao)

What is guerrilla research and when can you use it?

** Your One Survey Isn’t Really Research

Hello Human

In the last letter, we talked about what UX Research is and why it’s important. Today we’re going to be talking about what it is not and why you shouldn’t do it the wrong way.

So what does research actually involve?

** What is UX Research and why you need to do it

Hello Human

But first, who are we?
