Guerrilla Usability Tests
Conduct quick, informal testing sessions to surface usability issues early in the design process. Lightweight and cost-effective, this method is ideal for catching major blockers or validating basic assumptions — especially in early design stages when feedback needs to be fast and iterative.
When to Employ This Service
Use during early design stages for quick, low-cost feedback on usability or navigation, particularly when you need to iterate rapidly.
Outcomes & Benefits
Fast, informal tests give early feedback on whether your ideas or flows are working. This helps teams move quickly while reducing risk.
Early detection of usability issues
Faster iteration with less investment
Evidence to support design pivots
Builds a habit of user-centred testing
Approach
Quick, informal tests provide fast feedback on ideas, content, or flows. I use lightweight methods to uncover friction early without formal recruitment.
Setup: Define questions, flows, or prototypes to test
Recruitment: Identify target participants in natural settings
Testing: Facilitate sessions and observe behaviours
Insight Extraction: Capture feedback themes and improvement points
