Senior User Experience Researcher at REA Group
Hi There! I'm Lucy and I am an experienced design researcher based in Melbourne. I am currently on Kintell for private coaching and research tutoring.
For career coaching: https://kintell.com/advisors/lucy-xie/help-you-get-a-job-in-ux-research
For research tutoring: https://kintell.com/advisors/lucy-xie/design-research-tutoring
I will use ADPList to host Q&A sessions and the occasional mentoring if time permits.
About me:
I pivoted from law to UX without prior experience in design or research --> talk to me about getting your foot in the door in the UX industry.
I've worked in a variety of environments from startups to agency to corporate --> talk to me about what environment would best suit your strengths.
I write about mental health (https://medium.com/@lucy.xie.nz) --> talk to me about self-care in UX and avoiding the hazards you might encounter in your career.
In my day jobs, I trained product designers and junior UXers to confidently do their own research --> talk to me about developing research skills and find out if tutoring is right for you.
Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions, please message me on LinkedIn. =)
“Lucy is super friendly and helpful, including providing her personal experiences and I would recommend her anytime!”
“You know those teachers you had growing up that were amazing at what they do? The ones who try to understand your learning style and adapt their approach? Lucy is one of those teachers. She does a fantastic job clarifying the "why" behind her suggestions. She listens carefully and makes sure to confirm she understood your POV correctly. (Even though this is a thing researchers should do well.”
“The session that I had with Lucy gave me a lot of enlightenment & it even made me realize things that I need to develop more for this career & that is not only in terms of skills! She is very humble and kind, even when my question is kind of hard to understand & scramble because of my language but she is willing to help me push myself to find a suitable solution.”
