UX Research
Jean-Yves is drawn to UX Research because it brings together his natural strengths in human understanding, data analysis, and purposeful design. With Empathy and Connectedness among his core traits, he is deeply interested in how people think, feel, and interact within systems. UX Research gives him the opportunity to explore these dynamics with intention—uncovering behavioral patterns and translating them into insights that enhance real user experiences. His ability to observe, listen, and make sense of interpersonal and emotional nuances aligns well with the relational nature of this field, allowing him to build meaningful connections between users and design outcomes.
Complementing this people-focused lens, Jean-Yves also brings strengths in these traits: Achiever, Context-focused, and Learner, which support the structured and analytical side of UX Research. He enjoys working toward clear goals, drawing insights from historical patterns, and continuously expanding his skill set through reflection and applied learning. This combination enables him to approach UX challenges with both strategic thinking and disciplined execution.
For Jean-Yves, UX Research is a domain that not only fits his strengths but also offers a sense of purpose—allowing him to blend analytical precision with emotional insight to inform user-centered design.
