Design Researcher Apprentice

Job description

As a Design Researcher Apprentice, you will specialize in uncovering user needs. Design Researchers also use analytical techniques and their own judgment to prioritize design work and communicate those results to other members of the design team. Their findings yield insights that can be used to determine what people need from their tools, the exact points where users are abandoning solutions, and even help uncover the next big innovation in a product line.
