Where I’m running 🏃
I go for a run about 3 to 4 times a week, along the Hudson River, either on the Manhattan side or Jersey City side of the river. Currently, I’m not planning on any race but casually training to go a little further, and a little faster at a time. 🏃
But then again, I very often get distracted by encountering these sorts of things 🙃️

What I’m writing ✏️
Avoiding Bias in User Research
![]()
Communication and clear understanding of the users are the key to my design practices. UXers do this by understanding the users by looking into user data and insights, and taking the user’s perspectives. Piece of cake. Except, not really. I wanted to share my thoughts on common cognitive biases designers may often face and how I prevented myself from being affected by them.

Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior
In this book, Leonard Mlodinow gives numerous real-life cases and studies where our decisions are often affected by the biases we are unconscious of. This book provides a great amount of experiment details and cases which helped me understand the context and have a deep understanding of the matter. (highly recommend getting a hardcopy because the book cover is extra fun)

When designing, don’t forget the broader context
I think good design’s true value lies in understanding the broader context of the users. As a digital product designer, yes, my design often stays within user’s screens, but the impacts often go beyond such limits and affect the user’s physical world as well. I loved this article because I think it is important for any makers and creators to have a broader vision.
