As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience, but this is a general guide on how to conduct user research for specific design:
1. Define the research questions: The first step is to identify the research questions to be answered in the study.
2. Choose the research method: There are a variety of research methods such as surveys, interviews, usability testing, and observation. Choose the best method for the type of design you are working on.
3. Identify research participants: Determine the characteristics of the target user group and recruit research participants that represent this group.
4. Conduct the research: Plan and conduct the research using the chosen method. Take detailed notes and record interviews for analysis.
5. Analyze data: Collate and analyze the research data to identify common themes and potential design changes.
6. Use the findings to inform design: Use the research findings to improve the design and make changes based on user feedback.
