Hello PH community! Let's connect :)

Hi there! I am newish to PH and would like to connect with you! https://www.linkedin.com/in/meng... I quit my job a few months ago and decided to be a freelance UX designer. I wanted to create a better experience and solving problems for startups. Therefore, I am doing my user research here🤓 As a founder and maker, how did you design your UX? Did you do it by yourself, hire a full-time employee or look for a UX freelancer like me? As a startup, what do you need the most? User research, strategy or design mockups to start with? Would love to hear from your experience :)
