Hey PH fam!
With my first go to market under my belt, I’ve got user research on the brain. Check out this resources drop on how to get started doing your own UX Research. Gathering feedback and learning from others is key and with that in mind let me know what you want to see in this newsletter. I’ve been publishing it for over three years at this point and I’d love to hear from you! Teamwork makes the dream work!
My friends at Entre have been making major moves pivoting into Web3. If you’re not already hanging out on the platform join me and help build the future of work. I’ll be organizing events to bring us back together IRL. But in the meantime hang out with me online in some of the events below, or check out the in person event lineup I’ve curated.
