🎙️ Podcast Guest: Mujtaba Hameed
In Today's episode, I am delighted to have a conversation with Mujtaba, an anthropologist and innovation consultant with over 10 years of experience working across culture, technology, and strategy. He is a Project Director at Stripe Partners, where he has led strategic research for companies including Apple, Meta, Google, and Spotify.
A strong advocate for ethnography, Mujtaba has conducted in-person fieldwork worldwide, from Tokyo to Los Angeles. He is particularly interested in using AI to deepen human insight, rather than simply speeding up research.
🧠 Topics discussed
- The value of in-person research and field work
- Using AI in research without the hype
- The changing culture of tech and its impact on UX researchers
- The future of research in an AI era
