Helllloooo there!

I hope you are doing well and having a nice week. I, personally, am EXHAUSTED! I think I may still be recovering from my week on the slopes — I managed to bring a cold home from France, but I am powering through since my mom is visiting this week. We spent some time in St. Malo and have been running around Jersey (it’s small but still lots to do!), taking walks on the beach, and playing some tennis.

In case you are tired as well, I wanted to remind you I have a whole library of freebies for you. These free templates exist as a way to help you not have to start from scratch — a little less thinking and a little more inspiration 😁

Also, if you love these and want more, I recommend checking out my User Research Membership, which will grant you access to over twenty for-members-only templates and new ones!

Now, on to the links!

Jess Holbrook, Director of UXR for AI at Meta (Podcast) by The UX Research Rundown

I wonder when we will go a newsletter without bringing up AI? 🤪 Probably not for a while…and if you are sick of AI, I recommend listening to this episode as Jess talks through how they navigate UXR and AI at Meta. I thought it would be interesting to showcase a researcher discussing the importance of AI, so this perspective feels very critical to share as we learn to navigate AI in our jobs.
