About Setara Singh

Product Manager at Moodle

Hi, I'm Setara! I've worked as a Researcher, Senior Researcher, and Research Lead over the last 8 years. I recently moved into a PM role, where I still conduct research, and work with other talented researchers. I bring a unique perspective having done the hard work of UX research, but now in a position to really understand the kind of research that's valued and acted on by Product teams.

In my years as a UX Researcher, I conducted research in all stages of product development, for e-commerce products, enterprise software, learning management systems, and more. I use strong collaboration, coaching and communication skills to drive impactful research and increase research maturity on my teams.

I provide mentorship in English.
