Balancing ethnographic research and usability testing in UX design projects can be tough, but it’s super rewarding! Here’s what I’ve found helpful:
Start with Ethnographic Research: First, really get to know your users. Look at how they behave and the places they use your product. This gives you a strong base to work from.
Move to Usability Testing: After you understand your users better, test your designs with them. See how they use your product. This helps you focus on how easy and effective it is.
Iterate: Take what you learned from usability testing and use it to make your ethnographic research better. It’s a cycle of improving over and over again.
By mixing these two methods, you’ll create a design that is more focused on what users really need.
