Super helpful content. Thank you for the shoutout! 🥰
So much value in one video. Thank you!
Wow! So many links! So much knowledge!
Thank you for recommending my channel! ✨
thank you for stopping by!!
Hi Aona, thank you for sharing your resources. I’m currently almost finished with the UX research and design course offered by the University of Michigan on Coursera. For anyone else that’s interested, it’s been a fantastic course, super insightful and clear. I’m currently working on finishing these courses very soon and begin building my UX research portfolio! Your videos have been extremely helpful and I hope to share my progression as I learn more through your channel.
Have a great week everyone!
I am also looking to get into UXR but only see the Ux design on coursera. Can you please link me? Thank you!
Sorry to bother you. Did you find the job as a UX researcher?
Wow, thanks Aona, awesome channel. I just subscribed
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m just new in this path and this very helpful. Love tour channel ☺️
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing all the resources!

It's very helpful. Your content is awesome.
Thanks Aona for sharing such informative videos and surely i will save this video for future purposes.
This was extremely helpful thank you so much!
This video is so helpful and great that I have to post my first ever youtube comment in my 35 years of life. Thank you!
Aw thank you!! I’m glad 🥺
Thank you so much for these resources! I am working to transition into UX Research from teaching. Your videos are so helpful
Dawww Aona! Thanks for supporting + featuring me as a recommended RUclipsr🥰❤️ I was watching your video on my subscriber mode as usual and was pleasantly surprised!☺️ Appreciate you, and thanks for another 💯 killer video on UXR - Such an inspiration!💛💛💛
Your content is great!! 🌟 and I want to give a genuine shoutout 🥰
@@AonaTalks 💜💜💜
This video is so underrated and packs lots of good stuff. THANK YOU sooooo much!
Gonna binge watch all other videos in your channel after this!
I hope it gets properly rated some day :P thank you!
Hi Aona, I appreciate you sharing all of these resources as a recent (well sort of recent) transitionee into UI/UX Design from a non adjacent field (Biotech Research)!
Same here!
super helpful! I am a lawyer that finished a software dev bootcamp (I want to build helpful legal tools)- while working on my portfolio and choosing which projects to further develop, I realized that I wouldn't get very far without design. If I don't understand my user audience, how can I possibly develop useful tools and products for them?!? The more I delve into UX, the more I see that UR is critical to providing a roadmap to work from. Your videos and resources are incredibly helpful. I'm going to check them all out. Thank you. :)
竟然在很多年以后刷到了当年在微博上关注的博主，眼妆进步超大！
Thx for sharing these amazing resources!!
Hi! (comment quite unrelated to the video) 😅
I've been a pretty silent viewer of yours since 8.5k. I'm currently majoring in Computer Science, but hoping to transfer to a school that offers Communication Research because my parents are not supportive in getting a fine arts/design degree (typical asian parents). Your videos have been really helpful in my decisions regarding the next steps of working towards this career. Not to mention, your delivery is easily digestible yet full of substance.
Thank you, again, for all that you do. Your passion for the field really shines through in your videos, and it inspires me a lot!
Very helpfull, thank you!
Thank you for the information - I am pursuing interaction design but what to be as well-versed in research methods and such also. I appreciate you.
Hello Aona, thank you for sharing all the great resource! Do you have an updated learning resources recommendation?
thank you!
This checks out! One thing I would add is that people who are interested in research do not need to learn how to design. This is one of the main confusions I see with researchers specifically. They need to know what research looks like in a design context, and how design happens, but they don't need design skills.
I agree! And just to clarify this refers to the actual design skills (i.e. using the tools and prototyping stuff), but the knowledge of UX and interaction design is still very needed imo because I see today a lot of academia researchers trying to getting into the field were dinged during interview process of lacking "product sense" and "ux sense". I also talked about this in this video: ruclips.net/video/REgMDstCfeQ/видео.html
@@AonaTalks absolutely! Researchers must absolutely know the fundamentals and principals of UX design.
Hey Aona, big fan! Could you elaborate a little bit more on (examples/topics) the evaluating self knowledge part (both for UX knowledge and research ability in 2:27 of your video) for someone who already has some experience in UX research?
Best UX related content creator I know 🙏🙏❣️❣️. Also make a vid on "Does getting a degree compulsory in UX jobs or can a highschool dropout can manage to get the job with giving it some time." Plz much needed topic
You content never misses! Thank you for all that you're doing for us !
I've been trying to break into the field from September 2021..and I've found that I tend to accumulate a LOT of resources. I've my own repository but I haven't tackled that mountain completely. I just keep finding new information, but don't seem to take the time to absorb it all.
I think I'm struggling with the motivation because my plan seems to be haywire...? I wish to be a researcher, but I'm thinking about design? One day I'm reading a medium article about a UXR's first day and the next I'm dabbling with Figma. I feel like I'm not focussing on one thing, but instead, jumping around.
Also, I've done 1-2 projects for my UXR portfolio, but, I'm not trying out any other methods in UXR except surveys- i think I'm just overwhelmed.
Any advice ? :(
This all depends on how eager do you want to be a UXR and how much efforts are you willing to give. In full honesty, I do think research is a bit harder to break into compare to design relatively speaking. It does take lots of rigor to do it right and without proper training (like in a class) and many tries in real life projects, it’s very hard to master it. Most folks don’t get their research right the first or second time they try. And for more experienced folks out there, it’s pretty easy to spot out junior work. So I would advise if your goal is to just get into UX and you also have a knack for design, don’t shut it down. It’s a bit easier to “break in” also because there’s more job opportunities compared to UXR. But one thing I wouldn’t recommend is to focus on both at the same time - I know this might be different than what others recommend, but I always think you only have limited time and energy to master one of them. The other one - keep it at a good-to-know basis. Hope this helps.
@@AonaTalks it really does help! Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time out to do this! Your transparent and honest response was just what I needed. It made me feel seen and heard!
You've changed my life in more ways that one because the reason I've been able to get this far in my journey without having a burnout is because of the content you share ! Every thing is actionable- it's not mere facts being given out but it's also a roadmap that we can follow!
Your contributions have been pivotal in my journey! I'm planning to follow your video about self starter projects right after I finish my masters in clinical psych this May!
Cheers x
Is there any way you could share your repository of resources to all of us as well? I think it could really help a lot of people who're in the same spot as your were then
Can you please please make videos on different types of reach methods and do it practically? Also can you make a video of "how to write reasearch plan "
Hi Aona! Could you please make one video about note taking strategies (specially in a team of one)🙏. For example, tips on how to take notes during or after running a test (using spreadsheets, tables or just regular text format). Btw the new intro animation of your videos looks awesome! 🤩🤩
Omg I know the pain... I have never quite adopted good note taking habits :P - I mostly print out my guide and write down (physically) big areas to pay attention to as I go through the moderation - and then I go back to my video to capture quotes and notes. Very backwards haha - but there are a lot of meeting session transcription tools out there that you might want to look into.
@@AonaTalks Yes, that's what I do as well! Thank you so much for your reply!
I've used tools like Dovetail (which is amazing) and Condens. I was wondering when you take notes if you do something specific with timestamps, tables or something like that to avoid the panic 😅 when writing things down during the tests. Can't wait for your next video!
Hi Aona, I had a question. This particularly concerns books, we read so many research books and find a wealth of knowledge in their. But I have problem tracing back to the literature when I actually need it for my projects. Do you have a tagging system you use when you read the books? This would be so helpful!
Thanks for sharing the information. I have trouble hearing a repetitive bass in the music while trying to listen to information you present in the video. Is there a way to download the transcript?
so helpful! i'm trying to transition from behavioral health and am currently working through the google ux design certificate course! it isn't easy learning it all on your own, but the different resources and recommendations make it that much easier!!
Hi Aona! Thank you for sharing this video of resources and for creating this helpful channel. What would you say about adding research projects to my portfolio that didn't meet the research objectives/questions? Do you think I should state recommendations to improve? How would you go about this because I have applied research experience, but I care about research rigour and quality so uncertain if I should include it. I wasn't part of the research design process but mainly in a data collection capacity. Thank you!
I would not recommend including a research project where your goals were not met or research questions not answered. Also you should only consider including projects where you have worked on from start to finish.
Hi Aona, thank you for sharing amazing resources of UX. I am trying to get the books that you have recommended. However, I have trouble to open the link of 'Writing effective surveys'. Could you please let me know the name of the book, or update the link when you can. Many thanks!
Ohhh thanks for letting me know. It's this book: amzn.to/3PNeBMF
What are your thoughts on Maze vs UXTweak?
Is it necessary to have design skills?
I’m very interested into getting into UXR. How necessary do you feel learning about UX design is? Would it be possible to just pursue the research side only?
I just noticed you already made a video that addressed this question. Thanks so much for your videos and insight. Have a great day!
annoyed, this video go right into if you have experience, even if you did mention no experience, I don't want to watch through the whole video to get to that. dislike.
