This creates a big barrier, and, I believe, a tremendous opportunity inside of the marketplace.  So what we do is we take the tools that you use; we integrate them into a work flow so that, ultimately, you enter in your project details, that is, who it is that you want to talk to, when you want to talk to them, whether it’s a focus group, in-person, or virtual or IDI’s or ethnos; and we connect you to those right people in the times that you want to have those conversations or connections – Push-Button Qualitative Insights, HubUX.  If you have any questions, reach out to me directly.  I would appreciate it.

There’s not a lot of UX researchers here.  So, I was studying psychology in the University of Lagos. And, as a student, I had a lot of time on my hands. My school is based in a major city where there is a tech hub, and the tech hub was really close to my school. So I used to just go there and go for all the meetups I could find because I had nothing else to do.  And so, I discovered a usable, which was UX Lagos at the time. It was a design meetup that happened every month.  And so, I just attended.  I had tried software... front-end development.  So, I learned HTML and CSS and a little bit of Java Script on Code Academy ‘cause I really wanted to work in tech.  That was my major goal.  So, I didn’t really enjoy that.  So, really, I enjoyed the meetups, topics, and everything.  And so, an opportunity came up in the company where the meetup was posted for a UX researcher, their first UX researcher, and they wanted somebody with a psychology background.  And so, I sent in my CV, had an interview and Viola!  [03:36]  If only it was magical.  There’s a lot to that.
