SHORYA SAXENA SENIOR UXR

Want To Know More About Me?

I completed my Master of Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Mithibai College, Mumbai (2021). My 7+ years of impactful end-to-end Mixed Methods UX Research and extensive academic research, training in Behavioral Science, knowledge of psychology and human behavior have led to my intense understanding of UX Research. In addition, I had collaboratively developed a psychological tool and conducted workshops with leadership.

I am passionate about creating intuitive, inclusive and impactful experiences by unlocking user insights while being a strategic thinker and skilled storyteller who translates complex user needs into actionable recommendations. I am also adept at stakeholder management and solving complex problems to deliver measurable business and user outcomes and committed to leveraging design thinking and research to drive innovation and meaningful impact.

Talking of collaboration and support, in my UXR journey so far, I have been supporting Product, Design, Analytics, Engineering, Sales and Marketing teams by embedding research into different processes at scale so that insights directly inform both discovery and iterative product decisions. Along with that, I have been responsible for aligning high-level stakeholders like Directors and Senior Directors on research initiatives.

My area of interest lies in building products from the 0-1 Phase and also improving the user experience of an existing product and I believe that we can achieve this by starting to think about the users.

I believe that asking the right questions leads us to the right outcomes and follow the same approach in my work. As a UX researcher, instead of making the best guess based on my own subjective experience, I design a research strategy that empowers me to answer set questions in a data-driven way.

I am a fun, hardworking, research-obsessed professional who is curious about the world and people, looking to create innovative solutions and delightful experiences for the users. I bring expertise in, but not limited to, end-to-end mixed methods research, survey design, interview and workshop facilitation.

I always look for opportunities where I can work in collaboration with a diverse set of talent because I believe that we can provide a better user experience only when different teams understand each other's needs.

I quickly pick up business knowledge related to my project. Adding to it, I am somebody who will always put the team first and I can work tirelessly to find solutions to user problems, whilst at the same time using innovative and creative ways to ensure the business continually grows and the team develops.
