What I actually do as a UX Researcher”
No, I don’t just test designs.
No, I don’t just run surveys.
And no — I don’t wait till the end of the product cycle to show up.
I’m a Senior UX Researcher at Microsoft, and my job is to help product teams build the right features - for the right reasons.
UX research is about strategy, collaboration, empathy, and user-centered decisions - not just usability tests.
I work with PMs, designers, engineers, data scientists, legal, and support - so the product, not just the UI, speaks to your users.
Curious what this looks like in real life?

For many parents, the uncertainty isn’t about the degree it’s about the direction.
A humanities education opens doors to impactful careers in policy analyst , brand strategy, climate advocacy, UX research, and international relations. But marks alone won’t get you there.
What truly matters today is developing skills like:
1. Strategic communication
2. Policy thinking
3. Problem-solving
4. Leadership
In today’s world, employers value problem solvers over just toppers. If you or your child is studying humanities, focus on building these high-value skills alongside academics.

Working from home as a UX researcher means my day is a mix of deep focus, user research, meetings, and little moments of rest (yes, sometimes that means lying in bed for a bit 😁) I love the flexibility, but some days feel more productive t han others – and that’s okay 💚
Do you also work from home, or are you more of an office person? Let’s chat in the comments 🌱
💌 what type of designer would you like to be! ✨
"Design" is not 1 role. Here's 8 below!!!
Most designers sit in either the marketing org (creative-led) or the product org (systems-led).
— MARKETING ORG —
Graphic / Visual Designer
Creates any still 2D asset for marketing purposes.
[Ads, social media posts, sales collateral, infographics, illustrations, print]
Brand Designer
Defines and maintains the visual language of a company.
[Logo, colour palette, typography, imagery guidelines]
Website / Digital Designer
Designs websites optimised for conversion and brand expression.
[Landing pages, campaign pages, company website]
Motion Designer
Brings static assets to life through animation and movement.
[Website animations, video ads, product showcases, social content]
3D Designer
Creates dimensional visuals for technical or immersive storytelling.
[Product renders, interactive visuals, spatial design]
— PRODUCT ORG —
Product Designer (UI UX)
Designs the end-to-end experience inside a product.
[Screens, flows, components, design systems]
UX Researcher
Talks to users to understand problems, behaviours and needs.
[User interviews, usability testing, research reports]
Content Designer
Writes the words inside a product to make it intuitive to use.
[Button labels, error messages, onboarding copy, tooltips]
Most designers have breadth across a few of these but a deep vertical in one.

Ever felt like you were drowning in data? 😩
As a UX researcher, this is a feeling I know well. Conducting user interviews with only 10 customers will still leave you with 10 HOURS of transcripts to analyze... that’s a lot of reading. 📖
Enter Miro AI 🚀—my secret to boosting productivity. Here's how I streamline the discovery and definition phases of design research, using @mirohq ‘s Innovation Workspace:
1️⃣ Copy-paste my interview notes or transcripts into Miro, and prompt Miro AI to find key themes. For example, you could prompt it to find insights around your product’s login flow, ease of use, or any other specific areas!
2️⃣ Miro AI quickly analyzes and synthesizes everything for me, and I can even choose my preferred output—sticky notes, documents, images or diagrams!
3️⃣ If I want to add more data to the analysis or adjust the insights, it’s super easy to tweak the prompt as I go.
Now all my synthesis is in one central, collaborative space, making it easier to share with my team and move right into the next design phase! 💡🙌
