The UX Research Transition Lab™

If you’ve been trying to transition into UX Research but feel like you don’t have the “right” experience, you may be overlooking something important:

👉 Your experience may already contain research-related thinking and transferable skills.

👉 You may simply not know how to recognize, translate, and communicate them yet.

This Lab helps you do that.

Many transition learners keep learning about UX Research but still struggle to see which parts of their existing experience may be relevant, explain the thinking behind what they’ve done, or turn real experiences into credible transition stories.

The UX Research Transition Lab™ gives you a structured place to work through that transition.

This Is Not a General UX Research Course

The Lab is not designed to teach you every UX Research method or promise that you’ll become a UX Researcher in seven days.

Instead, it helps you:

• uncover research-related thinking and transferable skills within your experience
• communicate your experience accurately in a UX Research context
• create practical transition assets grounded in work you have actually done
• identify what you already bring and what you still need to build
• develop a realistic path forward

A Guided Seven-Day Transition System

Move through seven connected days at your own pace:

Day 1: Discover Your Hidden UXR Skills

Recognize research-related thinking, transferable skills, and patterns within your experience.

Day 2: Speak UX Research

Translate your experience into accurate, evidence-based UX Research language without overstating what you did.

Day 3: Build Your Transition Case Study

Shape a real experience into a credible case study that communicates your thinking, decisions, and contribution.

Day 4: Develop Your Interview Story

Turn your experience into a clear story you can adapt for interviews and professional conversations.

Day 5: Build Your Action Plan

Assess what you already bring, identify what you need to strengthen, and create a focused 30-day action plan.

Day 6: Build Your Transition Support

Identify the people, resources, environments, and forms of support your action plan needs.

Day 7: Step Into Your UX Research Identity

Bring your key work together in a UXR Transition Blueprint™ and articulate how you now understand yourself in relation to UX Research.

Who This Is For

The Lab is designed for people exploring or transitioning into UX Research who want help connecting their existing experience to the field.

It may be especially useful if you:

• come from a professional, academic, technical, service, healthcare, business, education, or other non-UX Research background
• are unsure how your existing experience may be relevant
• have been learning UX Research but still struggle to communicate what you bring
• want to describe your experience credibly without presenting adjacent work as formal UX Research
• want a structured way to understand where you are and what to do next

What Makes This Different

Most UX Research resources focus on the field, its methods, and its processes.

The UX Research Transition Lab™ focuses on the bridge between your existing background and where you want to go.

It helps you build from work you have actually done without erasing its original context or presenting it as something it wasn’t.

You’re not starting from zero. You’re learning to recognize what you already bring, communicate it more clearly, and build forward from there.

Delivery

The UX Research Transition Lab™ is a self-guided digital workspace delivered through Notion. You’ll receive access after purchase and can move through the Lab at a pace that works for you.
