User Research

User Research

I use a qualitative method by conducting direct interviews with users to find out user needs by asking several questions such as: why do they buy skateboarding equipment and skate apparel online, what are they looking for and what are their Pain Points, what devices do they use when looking for a product. I have three answers ( two boys and one girl), between 18-30 years old.
