Career journal for

UX Researchers

Research influence is invisible by design: when it works, the bad version of the product never ships. Without dated capture, the contribution is unrecoverable at review time.

Bloomly is the career journal built for the moments the work actually happens, not the night before the review.

A captured day for a UX Researcher

1. 01

   9am: shipped the tree-test analysis. PM's decision happened in the same Slack thread.

2. 02

   1pm: panel-recruit sync with research ops; the longitudinal study is now staffed.

3. 03

   3pm: PM partnership crit on his draft survey; my concern about leading questions changed half the items.

4. 04

   5pm: documented the tree-test method in the research wiki.
