Design Thinking driving the product development process, leading to an iterative, collaborative and user-centred approach to problem solving. [Design Thinking: Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test]
To me Product Development is a continuous learning process, ideally in a multidisciplinary team.
My job as a User Researcher is to inform and / or evaluate decisions throughout the product design and development process by identifying the most effective methods to find out, what we need to know.
It also includes the planning and execution of research measures, the analysis of data obtained and the presentation of findings and recommendations for action derived from the synthesis to stakeholders.

Here's what people say I worked with:
”Inga is characterized by a comprehensive understanding of the product. She has the courage to ask critical questions and is tenacious in her efforts to ensure that research findings are incorporated into product development.
Especially during testing, it becomes clear how much Inga enjoys interacting with people. With her personal way, she guides the test persons confidently through every situation, can react spontaneously to every difficulty, is very competent and hasn't forgotten the humour in her work.”
