Research is not optional in productdesign, it is the foundation.
Every successful product starts with a deep understanding of the people it is built for. Without research, we are only designing based on assumptions.
User personas help us clearly define who we are designing for their behaviors, goals, frustrations, motivations, and context. They transform “users” into real people with real needs.
Once we understand the pain points and goals, the next step is mapping out the user flow. Userflows allow us to visualize the journey a user takes through a product—from entry to success.
Research → Personas → User Flows → Meaningful Solutions.
Designing without research is guessing. Designing with research is solving real problems.
Exactly this. When research leads, assumptions disappear. Great design isn’t decoration it’s informed decision-making.
