Hey everyone! I'm Hetvi, and this is my first foray into the wonderful world of blogging. Buckle up, because I'm here to share my story: a tale of unexpected career twists, a yearning for creativity, and ultimately, the path that led me to UX research.

For years, I was a devoted citizen of the software industry. Lines of code were my playground, and logic my guiding principle. Don't get me wrong, the problem-solving aspect of coding was thrilling. But somewhere along the way, a nagging voice started whispering, "Is this all there is?"

The truth is, I craved the freedom to explore, to inject a bit of artistic flair into my work. It was during this internal tug-of-war that I stumbled upon the fascinating world of UX research. The idea of delving into user behavior, understanding their needs and frustrations – it all resonated deeply. Here was a field that melded the analytical skills I honed in coding with the creativity I yearned for.

The beauty of UX research lies in its focus on the human element. It's about becoming a detective, piecing together the puzzle of how users interact with a product.

Now, my journey wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Being self-taught meant devouring online resources, enrolling in online courses, and most importantly, practicing, practicing, practicing. I spent hours pouring over articles, watching tutorials, and conducting mock user interviews with friends and family (bless their patient souls!).

But the learning curve was exhilarating. Each new concept I grasped, each user insight I uncovered, fueled my passion further.

This blog will be my space to share my ongoing UX research adventures. I'll be delving into research methodologies, user testing tips and tricks, and the fascinating world of user behavior.

Whether you're a seasoned UX pro, a curious newcomer, or someone like me, a software refugee seeking a more creative path, I invite you to join me on this exciting journey. Let's explore the wonderful world of UX research together, one click and one interview at a time!
