Eduardo: <\/strong>Design & Research Operations make the work of the entire team happen in a coordinated way. They facilitate the tools, processes, and ecosystem for researchers and designers to work effectively.<\/p>\nMy past experience working with Research Ops helped me see how much work goes into recruiting, scheduling, and compensating research participants and how much their support helps researchers be focused on their craft and stakeholder management.<\/p>\n
Rosenfeld Media: What is your culture like, who would design employees work with, and who are the champions?<\/strong><\/p>\nEduardo: <\/strong>The Design & Research team enjoys a very dynamic, fun, and collaborative culture. We show our \u201cunfinished work\u201d often to receive early feedback and we feel like we\u2019re an integral part of the product teams we support.<\/p>\nSince the pandemic started, we have introduced a series of non-work-related sessions (team bonding, Design team water-cooler chat, \u201cI like\u201d sessions) that help us feel more connected with each other, learn from each other, and inspire us to become a better version of ourselves \u2013 which is one of our company values.<\/p>\n
Everybody contributes to this team culture, but we count three veterans who elevate our way of working and strengthen our culture:<\/p>\n
\n- Vlad Zely, our Head of Design and leader, who runs the show, giving team members autonomy and confidence to try new things<\/li>\n
- Kate Syuma, Lead Product Designer, who has a sixth sense to make our meetings inclusive of all perspectives<\/li>\n
- Thom Wong, Lead Content Designer, who brings structure and British humour to our daily conversations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you love Miro, we are hiring a Product Designer for our Growth team!<\/p>\n
Rosenfeld Media: What types of value and benefits do you\/your product bring to the practice and our community?<\/strong><\/p>\nMiro is shaping the way teams collaborate. Benefits can come from increased alignment, efficiency, creativity, connectedness \u2013 you name it. In a recent research session, I gathered a few quotes from users who recently started using Miro that really illustrate this:<\/p>\n
\n- “Miro feels really alive for collaborating with my colleagues. It is like being together in one room”<\/li>\n
- “Miro saved me 15 hours of work every week\u201d<\/li>\n
- “Miro is just more fun, prettier, and nicer [than the tool we used before]. It makes a difference in the way we track our work and it make us feel less stressed.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Rosenfeld Media:\u00a0What else should our community know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\nI find passion in connecting with others who look at the world with different eyes. I am very active on LinkedIn and Medium, where I share my view on how the UX Research function is evolving.<\/p>\n
On a personal level, I have been dancing salsa and bachata for more than 15 years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
