Ethnographic UX Research

Improve the product experience with immersive field research

Your digital product's designers can be vastly more successful when they become aware of how users actually engage with the product. Through ethnographic UX research, we provide your digital UX organization with comprehensive and specific insights about the context of use.

EXPERIENCE INSIGHTS
  • Learn the difference between what users say they want and what they actually need
  • Understand how the context of use affects the experience
  • Begin to fully understand the users' end-to-end journey

HOW WE DO IT

  1. 1

    We begin by interviewing and holding collaborative workshops with your team, stakeholders and staff to learn what they already know about the product’s users.

  2. 2

    We develop an ethnographic UX research protocol that incorporates a range of techniques best suited to your goals and the product. This may include contextual inquiry, apprenticeship, job/task shadowing, diary and journaling, silent observation, and more.

  3. 3

    We may also recommend complementary research methods, such as focus groups, interviews, concept testing, card sorting, usability testing, eye tracking, and others.

  4. 4

    We visualize our findings in an engaging format that creates instant understanding and buy-in throughout your organization, and which can be shared and used daily.
