Brave UX with Brendan Jarvis 🇺🇦 Michaela Mora - Building a Bridge Between Market and UX Research
Michaela Mora discusses the challenges of categorising race, why homogenous leadership is bad for businesses, and what UX researchers could learn from market research.
Highlights include:

⭐ How does knowing things like race and gender lead to better products?
⭐ What is the most important decision a researcher can make?
⭐ How does the homogenous nature of boards & C-Suites affect design?
⭐ Why do UXers resist getting closer to ‘the business’?
