Getting Creative with UX Research

Do you find yourself repeatedly resorting to the same research methods, hesitant to venture beyond your comfort zone? Do you feel constrained by what’s familiar, losing the spark of creativity and innovation that can transform your UX research practice?

We’ve all experienced this stagnation and know it can stifle our development. But the reality is that no project is ever the same, and there are endless opportunities to explore creative solutions that will make a profound impact. 

 👉 Join us and work with a group of peers to reconnect with your passion and creativity in UXR

  • Explore unconventional and innovative approaches to user research beyond conventional interviews, usability testing, and surveys.
  • Bring real-world UX research challenges from your projects and invite peers to contribute their creative perspectives.
  • Share ideas and connect with experienced UX researchers from around the world.

How does it work?

We gather online for two sessions of 90 minutes. During these sessions, you will connect with your peers to share experiences and discuss your challenges.

Session 1 - What is creativity in research?

  • We get to know each other and share examples of creativity in research.
  • Discuss ways to cultivate creative problem-solving. How can we embrace challenges as opportunities for doing something new? 
  • Break out into smaller groups to explore what might be holding you back and how you can take the next leap in your projects.  

Session 2 - Becoming creative with your challenge

  • Bring real-world UX research challenges from your projects and invite peers to contribute their creative perspectives.
  • Break out into smaller groups to generate innovative solutions to these challenges.
  • Leverage collective expertise and experience to find creative and practical approaches to your challenges.
  • Define your next steps!
