He also heads the first postgraduate programme in UX Research in Poland. His approach to UX combines science with a practical business edge, which translates into real benefits for projects and products.
About the talk:
In his talk “The witcher of the UX school, or should everyone wield research?” Krzysztof will take us on a journey through the world of UX research. He will explain how research can reduce business risk, limit the number of rework rounds and increase the efficiency of both designers and developers. In the era of the “democratisation of research” he will ask an important question: should everyone take part in UX research?
Get ready for a session full of metaphors from “The Witcher” universe, in which Krzysztof will point out the dangers and good practices this trend brings with it. It will be a talk that not only delivers a solid dose of knowledge but also inspires a look at UX from a completely new perspective.
