User research, split into qualitative and quantitative methods, is foundational to UX design. 

🗣️ **Qualitative research** uncovers the "**why**" behind user behaviors through interviews, revealing motivations. 

📊 **Quantitative research**, through surveys and analytics, answers the "**what**" and "**how many**", offering measurable insights for informed decisions.

Qualitative methods provide depth by exploring user stories. Quantitative methods quantify behaviors, guiding design with statistical evidence. Together, they ensure designs are <u>empathetic</u>, <u>user-centered</u>, and <u>data-driven</u>, setting the stage for creating effective user experiences.
