Make your user research easier through efficient note-taking. Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Let me start with a small confession. If there's one thing I hate about my work as a user researcher, it's note-taking. By note-taking, I don't mean the creation of meeting minutes or some fancy techniques of building an external brain.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

I love the Family Mart, two doors down from my hotel. It has sustained me for the entire Olympics. The routine for this very complex Games is that you arrive, and hard quarantine for three days, then Olympic bubble quarantine, pretty much thereafter. My world is the Olympic approved hotel, the Olympic buses, the Olympic venues, and then reverse that at the end of the day.
