By far my favorite part of creating a great user experience is doing usability research. I love interviewing users and testing prototypes with them because their keen insight are invaluable to inform good design. Check out this project for a new smartphone application that was designed to make it easier for users to keep food diaries and help them lose weight. Though this product did not get made in the end, this is a good example of how I work with users during usability testing and exploratory research.
