💬 Real feedback. Real community. Next Research Crit is coming up on July 23


Hey Reader,

The next UX Outloud Research Crit is happening on Tuesday, July 23rd and I’d love for you to join us. 🗓️

We’re gearing up for Crit #4, and honestly, this monthly event series has become one of my favorite things I get to do.

Every session brings together an incredible group of:


✨ UX researchers
✨ Job seekers
✨ Career pivoters

…for real talk, honest feedback, and the kind of community support that’s hard to find in this industry.

Last month, we focused on resumes and that session felt both like a warm hug and lighting a match 🔥 Folks walked away with clarity, language they could use immediately, and a renewed sense of confidence. Don’t you just love when that happens?

This time around, I’ll be joined by a special guest: Jessica Drizin 👀

Jessica is a Sr. User Research Manager at Dexcom and a UX research leader previously at Chime, Upwork, and Guideline. With 12+ years of experience across fintech, marketplace, and healthcare, she brings a sharp POV on building research practices in early-stage startups through IPO.

She’s a pro at mixed methods, workshop facilitation, and mentoring researchers at all levels—and she always keeps it real.

We keep these sessions intentionally small so everyone gets individualized support which means spots go fast.

Ready to join us? Save your seat:

If you’ve been craving a space where you can:


✅ Share your work-in-progress
✅ Ask your real questions
✅ Get honest, actionable feedback
✅ And just be in community with folks who get it...

This is for you. I hope to see you there 💛


Sincerely,

Eniola Abioye

My speciality is constructing tailored transition strategies taking into account the experience you have to leverage and the niche that are targeting for your next role. I take a hands-on approach to revamping your professional materials including: 📢 A resume that emphasizes your work and organizational impact 📢 A LinkedIn profile that demonstrates your value to UX hiring managers and recruiters 📢 A UXR portfolio that details your strategic research approach and case studies that showcase your experience I also work as a Lead UX Researcher and UXR Manager at Meta - and my background happens to be in biology and healthcare. Take it from me, someone who doesn't have the most "traditional" UXR background, you can apply people research skills from any and every industry and niche to UX. It all comes down to creating a strong narrative and making your skillset crystal clear.

Hey Reader, We all know that UX research can be a lonely road especially when you're job searching, navigating a career pivot, or just trying to get real honest feedback on your work.

Hi Reader 👋🏾 Let’s talk about research methods.. specifically, diary studies vs. usability testing.These two often get mentioned in the same breath, and I get why - they’re both behavioral. But I see a lot of researchers (even experienced ones) default to one or the other without fully thinking through what decision they’re trying to support. This email is all about getting clear on the purpose of each method so you can choose the one that’s best suited for your goals, time, and resources....
