About Yasmin

I have spent most of my career as a user researcher on small product teams, where research has to be fast, cheap and directly tied to a decision. I plan studies, recruit participants, run interviews and moderated usability tests, and turn messy notes into findings that a team can act on the same week.

My courses focus on the practical middle of research work: writing a discussion guide that avoids leading questions, choosing between an interview and a test, synthesising with affinity mapping, and presenting results without a forty page deck. I also teach discovery habits for product teams that do not have a dedicated researcher.

Every lesson comes with templates I actually use, and the exercises are built around a realistic product so you can practise on something that feels like work.

The discovery sprint is great

Ran the five day format with my trio. Friday's decision meeting was the clearest we have had.

Templates are worth it alone

The discussion guide and findings report templates saved me hours. My first readout went far better than I expected.

Assumption mapping changed our roadmap

We mapped assumptions for our biggest planned feature and found the core one had no evidence. Two weeks of tests saved us a quarter.

Finally a plan I can follow

The one page research plan changed how our team starts projects. We now write the decision first and half our meetings got shorter.

Honest about evidence

The small sample lesson helped me present findings to leadership without overselling them.

Useful for product managers too

I am a PM without a researcher on the team. The recruiting and screener lessons were exactly what I needed to get started.

Story based interviews work

My interviews used to be full of opinions. Asking for the story of a specific event made them far more useful.

Practical and calm teaching

I ran my first five interviews two weeks after starting. The section on open questions alone stopped me from leading every participant.
