User Research

Design and Creative Software

User research is the practice of studying target users' behaviors, needs, and motivations through methods such as interviews, surveys, usability testing, and field observation. UX designers and researchers use it to inform product decisions, validate assumptions, and reduce the risk of building features users don't want or can't use.
