DEDYUKHINA ANNA

Videogame UX RESEARCHER

I am UX Researcher with more than a 5 year of experience and a background in videogame, e-commerce, telecom and banking product testing.
I advocate for quality user experience in product and use expertise, qualitative and quantitative research tools to help optimize it. I turn research findings into actionable product insights, help integrate research into teams and development pipelines.

I use my passion for videogames to drive my work: understanding and emphatizing with players, and aligning their love for games with business goals of developers and publishers. I have worked with PC, console and mobile projects; gathered insights on casual and mid/hard-core videogames for various audiences.
