UX Researcher by Profession
J. Henry McKeen
I love being a UX Researcher, because documenting the truth as it is perceived by others is one of the most invigorating tasks I’ve ever experienced. Don’t get me wrong, I am just as introspective as the next self-indulgent, anxiety magnet who spent their childhood being told they were “smart” and “precocious.” Pushing myself to direct that attention outward, devoting those mental resources to be focused on the realities of others in hopes of creating more positive experiences in the future, is incredibly rewarding. Sharing research insights with designers, developers, product managers and engineers; providing them with the information that helps them feel more confident in design decision-making is pretty wonderful, as well.
