It was 2024 and I was still encoutering the same issue:

I was trying to find some insights into a specific User Research topic and the sources I could find were limited to put it mildly. I found blog articles from big corporations that lacked any kind of personal experience or real life application.
I found blog posts from designers that – while also doing some research – did not have the point of view I was looking for.
I found things written by product people that – while interesting in terms of perspective – lacked the expertise I was craving.
And then I found lots of blogs and LinkedIn profiles of Researchers that were men. They had expertise and experience, for sure! But I don’t have to tell you that our challenges and opportunities and POVs are different.
I am a User Researcher. I want to share what I am doing, thinking, wondering and worrying about. What I am excited and happy about and how I am solving problems that come my way! And: I want to know what other Researchers are doing, thinking, worrying about and how they solve their problems!
So let’s do this and start sharing our stories!
