About Me
My work and educational experience on the field of user research
I’m Liisa Rumberg
I am passionate about self-development and continuous learning. For me, one of the best ways of broadening my horizon has always been listening to other people and learning from their experiences. Hearing experts speaking about their field of knowledge is facinating.
Web users are the experts of their experience – listening to them tells us a lot.
We often hear that in order to succeed the businesses should be data-driven in their decisions. Yet, it´s important to keep in mind that the pure numbers are showing only half of the picture.
From the statistics we see what the users are doing on the web but we lack the understanding of why they are doing so. The reasons behind the actions can be understood only by speaking with the users and listening to them. This is what I do and enjoy doing!
