The importance of UX research: Merixstudio & Glareapp

00:01 → 00:02

My name is DJ.

00:02 → 00:07

I'm a Service Designer or a UX researcher.

00:07 → 00:10

I've been doing that for, I guess,

00:10 → 00:13

the past two decades now.

00:15 → 00:20

And my product is hopefully is going to

00:22 → 00:26

solve the many issues that go with doing

00:26 → 00:27

proper user research.

00:27 → 00:31

I had done a lot of research before

00:31 → 00:35

on my own by coming up with a decent prototype and doing

00:35 → 00:39

all that discovery stuff beforehand.

00:40 → 00:43

So, I had a working prototype or at least a clickable

00:43 → 00:45

prototype at first.

00:45 → 00:49

And I tested it, tried to validate it with actual

00:49 → 00:51

end users,

00:51 → 00:53

different types of personas.

00:54 → 00:59

And so then the time came to to find a developer.

00:59 → 01:00

And,

01:01 → 01:04

yeah, I tried to look for potential

01:06 → 01:10

developers that would be very suited for for the

01:10 → 01:12

type of stuff that I needed.

01:12 → 01:16

And so I ended up with Merixstudio.

01:16 → 01:18

What's really convenient is, you know,

01:18 → 01:22

there's no time difference between Amsterdam and

01:23 → 01:23

Poland.

01:23 → 01:25

So

01:25 → 01:28

that's why that's one of the reasons why

01:28 → 01:32

and then because of the they they had a solid

01:32 → 01:36

portfolio and they like to work with Python,

01:36 → 01:39

which is something that was recommended to me by some other

01:39 → 01:42

tech developer friend of mine.

01:42 → 01:44

So that's why I called you guys.

01:44 → 01:48

It's really helpful, especially from the technical

01:48 → 01:53

standpoint, because I'm no developer.

01:55 → 01:57

So lots of the stuff that we've discussed so far in the

01:57 → 02:01

workshop have already been worked out, it's more about,

02:01 → 02:03

you know, the devil is in the details.

02:04 → 02:08

And that's, you know, all the the team has been very helpful

02:08 → 02:12

in trying to figure that all that stuff out together with me.

02:12 → 02:15

So, yeah, I really like it.
