Democratising UX: how to spread user research education and insights throughout your organisation
With demand for UX insights within organisations outstripping the capacity of UX teams to deliver research, there is a growing need for greater UX knowledge and capability across different functions within businesses. But how do you spread user research beyond the walls of your UX research team? What is the value of everyone having access to UX insights—or having the ability to run research themselves?
On 26th March, we gathered a range of speakers to share their successes, challenges and expert advice around democratising UX. Learn from a variety of different perspectives on the topic, and have the opportunity to share your own experiences with the community.
Lee Duddell educates the audience on 'Common Mistakes Rookies Make When Testing (and How to Overcome Them)’.
There was once a time in product development where waterfalls ruled but today smart teams and companies are shifting their approaches to be more nimble and iterative. As they adopt approaches like Agile and Lean Startup many are also realizing that design matters. It’s not just what a product looks like but rather the entire experience that differentiates between good and great products. And they’re all looking for a UX unicorn to help them.
With some real-world examples, I’ll share with you:
+ how to become a UX unicorn
+ how the industry works & how it’s changing
+ how to work in Agile as a designer
+ leverage light-weight methods to work quickly
+ what I've learned along the way
Practicing Design Studio Method: a hands-on workshopNicole Capuana
An overview of Design Studio Method, why and how you facilitate a session, and a real-world problem from a Cleveland start-up to practice on. Additional resources to understand Design Studio Method.
Design Studio method is a collaborative thinking and design exercise that is used to quickly generate many ideas to solving particular design challenges. It involves sketching, critique and refinements to surface a diverse set of possibilities.
This will be a hands-on workshop to solve a design challenge for one of Cleveland’s growing startups. We will break into teams and you will learn how, when and why to use the Design Studio method.
If you can draw a square, a circle, and a triangle you can do it!
Iterate quickly with a prototype you can testNicole Capuana
A hands-on workshop where you will pair up and sketch a design for a mobile app. You will turn those sketches into a clickable prototype and draft a usability test. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a designer to do this. If you can draw a square, circle, line, and a triangle, you’ll do fine.
We’ll review prototype tools, how to structure a test, and why this approach can help you validate, experiment and learn fast.
Most businesses fail within the first year or two. How do you improve your odds of success? We’ll review the magic in learning loops, how to understand your users and customer development, and what you need in team dynamics to drive your startup forward and point you in a more successful direction.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
