Then the research phase begins. Depending on where the product is in in development, I will adjust my research methods to meet the product where is stands. This can include, but is not limited to: Usability testing, secondary research, user interviews, surveys, and creation of research artifacts and documentation. All of this will be shared with you, along with any recommendations I have based on the research. We can then plan for the design phase by aligning user needs with your objectives.
