Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a little designer named Pixel. She loved nothing more than creating beautiful things on her computer, using all the colors of the rainbow and all the shapes of the world. 1/n
That night Pixel learned that Design is not just about making things pretty, it's about solving problems and making things easy to use. And with that, she fell asleep with a smile on her face, dreaming of all the new designs she would create. 8/n
So, she went back to the drawing board and started thinking about the problem from the user's perspective. She asked herself what they would need and what they would want from her website. And then, she started designing with that in mind. 6/n
Pixel realized that she had been so focused on making her designs look perfect, that she had forgotten about the most important thing: making them work well for the people who would be using them. 5/n
But then, just as she was about to give up, she had an idea. She remembered something her mother had told her when she was a little: "Design is not just about making things pretty, it's about solving problems and making things easy to use." 4/n
Pixel worked very hard, day and night, but no matter what she did, her designs just didn’t feel quite right. She tried using different colors, different fonts, different layouts, but nothing seemed to work. 3/n

A: “I have no idea…” 🤷♂️
User research makes the difference between a product that flops and one that thrives. For all the user researchers out there, keep up the good work! You may be the unsung heroes, but you’re the ones making tech better for everyone. 🙌 3/3
You have to remember that the payoff is worth it. By truly understanding our users and their needs, we create products that they love and want to use. Plus, user research helps us avoid those embarrassing "oops, we didn't think of that" moments. 2/3
🤓 User research is the unsung hero of the tech industry. Without it, we'd be building products that nobody wants or needs. But it can feel time consuming with endless surveys, focus groups, and user testing. 1/3
