Ever wanted to have an inside peak at a user researcherās case study? I invite you to one of my worst case studies that I used to apply for and interview for jobs.
In this video, I walk through
Why this case study is terrible
How I would improve it
I want to share my mistakes because thatās how I learned best and itās also not easy to find this kind of information shared just anywhere on the internet.
If you want more of this, I sell a UXR case study kit. With this kit, you get my brains when it comes to case studies, including:
Five video walkthroughs of both bad and good case studies, as well as how I'd improve them (over an hour worth of videos)
Different types of case study examples (ex: project or process-based)
Four examples of reaalllll case studies
A case study template
Questions to prep for during an interview
