🎙 Welcome to the Women Who Tech show!
In the first episode of Season 2, I chat with Franziska Wahlers, Senior Freelance User and Research expert who runs The Research agency about freelance work – from building network and estimating projects to incorporating AI tools into workflow mindfully.
🔥 We dive into:
✔️ How Paul Ekman’s books and the Lie to Me TV show sparked Franziska’s fascination with human psychology and research
✔️ Why visualised personas and AI-simulated personas could become the most engaging way for cross-functional teams to understand their users
✔️ Why Franziska still prefers to do desk research manually, and the best moments to involve AI in the workflow
✔️ Full-time employment VS Freelance: flexibility and responsibilities
✔️ Brave, honest, transparent – this is how one estimates and commits to projects
✔️ How genuine references from fellow designers, researchers, and managers lead to big projects
One quote that stuck with me after our conversation: “I run analysis with AI after having my own analysis done, taking it as recommendations just like from another peer”.
